Abstract

Abstract The influence of partially coherent light on photon correlations in resonance fluorescence is discussed. We show that the laser bandwidth changes the intensity correlations in a very different way depending on whether the Rabi oscillation is greater or smaller than the natural lifetime of the excited state. For low intensity excitation we predict a generalization of the Heitler-Weisskopf effect extended to intensity correlations. A comparison with an inhomogenous theory of laser band-width is also presented.
