Abstract
The interaction of a quantized field mode with N identical atoms coupled to individual reserviors and classical driving fields is studied. An effective time-evolution operator for the radiation mode is derived. The exponent of this operator can be written as the number of atoms times an infinite sum containing field operators and correlation functions of freely evolving (no atom-field coupling) single-atom operators. In the adiabatic limit of fast decaying atomic correlations one can derive a master equation for the field density matrix. It is shown that the Liouvillian describing the interaction of the field mode with the N atoms is N times the single-atom Liouvillian.
