原子在双腔场间的光子辐射

考虑单个二能级原子穿过两个空间分离的单模腔场，研究原子质心运动的动能、腔长和腔间距对原子的光子辐射率的影响.结果表明，在原子的动能较小时，光子辐射率在双腔系统中出现多共振峰结构并且这种共振峰的数目随腔间距的增大而增加，此时原子在第一个腔中的光子辐射率普遍大于在第二个腔中的；在原子的动能较大时，原子在第一个腔中的光子辐射率与第二个腔中的光子辐射率呈交替变化.该结果说明，可以通过控制原子的速度而对原子的光子辐射率进行调控. 关键词： 光子辐射率 单模腔场 二能级原子

Photon emission of a two-level atom passing through double single-mode cavity fields

A two-level atom passing through double spatially separated single-mode cavity fields is studied. We investigate the effecting factors of photon emission probabilities of the atom, which include the kinetic energy of the atom, the length of the cavity and the separation between the two cavities. The results show that in the case of ultra-cold atom, when the kinetic energy of the atom is small (k/k₀<1), the photon emission probabilities have multiple resonant peaks and the photon emission probability of the atom in the first cavity is greater than that in the second one. When the kinetic energy of the atom is big (k/k₀>1), the length of the cavity has great effect on the photon emission probabilities. The present work shows that the photon emission probabilities may be modulated by controlling the center-of-mass motion of the atom.
