Abstract
The lifetimes of Rydberg atoms have been considered in micromaser theory. The difference from the usual micromaser theory [P. Filipowicz, J. Javanainen, and P. Meystre, Phys. Rev. A 34, 3077 (1986)] without level decay rates is discussed. It is shown that when the atom-field interaction time is large, the quantum collapse and revival are significantly different from the prediction of the usual micromaser theory. The relation between the photon fluctuation and the fluctuation of the population of the lower level after interacting with a maser field is also discussed. We found that the consistency of the sub-Poisson statistics of the lower-level population and photon number is violated.
