Higher-order squeezing oscillations of the single-mode cavity field interacting with a three-level radiator

Abstract

We study the two-photon interaction between a three-level equidistant radiator (atom, molecule) with different dipole transitions and the single-mode cavity field. It is supposed that the three-level radiator is laser cooled and trapped into the ground vibrational state, in which the vibrational quantum number [Formula: see text]. In the proposed two-photon Jaynes–Cummings model (JCM) of a three-level atom at the initial moment [Formula: see text], the quantized cavity field is prepared in the squeezed vacuum state and the three-level radiator in the first excited state [Formula: see text]. By using the exact analytical solution for the state-vector of the coupled atom-field system, the amplitude-squared squeezing of the quantized cavity field is examined as a function of the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] parameters. In this situation, higher-order squeezing has the tendency towards oscillations, but the exact periodicity of these oscillations is violated by the analogy with the second-order squeezing.
