Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.14, p.4171 (1981). Semiclassical and quantal time-dependent results are presented for a model of N identical two-level atoms occupying the same site (the Dicke model) and driven by a CW off-resonance laser field. The exact semiclassical time-dependent solutions are derived from an analysis of the Fokker-Planck equation for the system in the atomic coherent states representation. Steady-state behaviour predicted by these solutions is in agreement with that obtained from the exact quantal steady-state analysis in the thermodynamic limit N to infinity . The semiclassical theory predicts (in the steady state) one type of fluorescent spectrum, which is a single sharp line ( delta function) centered at the driving field frequency. This is like the case at exact resonance and below threshold. Quantum mechanically, analytical results are obtained in the strong-field limit and within the secular approximation of the master equation: the fluorescence spectrum is the usual dynamical Stark triplet, apart from a cooperative factor N2. The absorption spectrum and the second-order intensity autocorrelation function are also calculated. Numerical results are also presented for finite N(N<or approximately=5). The effect of detuning on the additional sidebands (occurring at higher harmonics) in both the fluorescent and adsorption spectrum are examined.
