Abstract
We investigate theoretically the light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) in the ultrastrong light-matter interaction regime under the two-level and single-mode approximations. The conventional picture of the laser is broken under the ultrastrong interaction. Instead, we must explicitly discuss the dynamics of the electric field and of the magnetic one distinctively, which make the ``laser'' qualitatively different from the conventional laser. We found that the laser generally accompanies odd-order harmonics of the electromagnetic fields both inside and outside the cavity and a synchronization with an oscillation of atomic population. A bistability is also demonstrated. However, since our model is quite simplified, we got quantitatively different results from the Hamiltonians in the velocity and length forms of the light-matter interaction, while the appearance of the multiple harmonics and the bistability is qualitatively reliable.
