Abstract

The dynamics of a three-level Λ-atom coupled to a structured reservoir has been investigated. Comparing the Lorentzian time-dependent decay rate and population dynamics for the weak coupling regime with those for the strong coupling regime, we note that non-Markovian features exist in both regimes, but population dynamics shows fairly different behaviors. Moreover, the different positions of the two transition frequencies with respect to the structured reservoir reduces the influence of non-Markovian effects on population dynamics. Based on the non-Markovianity, we give an intuitive interpretation of the result that the non-Markovian effects have little influence on population dynamics in the weak coupling regime, but have an obvious influence in the strong coupling regime.
