Quantum Electrodynamics of a Rydberg Atom Making Two-photon Transitions in the Binomial State of the Field in a Lossless Cavity

Abstract The dynamic and statistical properties of a system of an effective two-level atom making two-photon transitions in the binomial state of the field in a lossless cavity are discussed. The binomial state enables the study of the development of the phenomenon of collapses and revivals of the Rabi oscillations as the field state is changed from a pure number state to a coherent state. This is because the binomial state, which is a pure number state in one limit, develops into a coherent state as some parameters are changed appropriately. The effect of Stark shifts arising due to the transitions to virtual levels are also investigated.

Effect of Stark shift on two photon optical tristability

The effect of Stark shifts on two photon two mode optical multistability is investigated. We find that realistic Stark shifts produce significant changes in the state equations and their stability. Self oscillations, period doubling and optical chaos may occur.
