Spontaneous Emission of a Polarized Atom in a Medium Between Two Parallel Mirrors

Using the photon closed orbit theory, the spontaneous emission rate of a polarized atom in a medium between two parallel mirrors is derived and calculated. It is found that the spontaneous emission rate of a polarized atom between the mirrors is related to the atomic position and the polarization direction. The results show that in the vicinity of the mirror, the variation of the spontaneous emission rate depends crucially on the atomic polarization direction. With the increase of the polarization angle, the oscillation in the spontaneous emission rate becomes decreased. For the polarization direction parallel to the mirror plane, the oscillation is the greatest; while for the perpendicular polarization direction, the oscillation is nearly vanished. The agreement between our result and the quantum electrodynamics result suggests the correctness of our calculation. This study further verifies that the atomic spontaneous emission process can be effectively controlled by changing the polarization orientation of the atom.     

Correspondence Between Oscillations and Emitted Photon Closed-Orbits in Spontaneous Emission Rate of an Atom Near a Dielectric Slab

We study the oscillations in the spontaneous emission rate of an atom near a dielectric slab. The emission rate is calculated as a function of system size using quantum electrodynamics. It exhibits multi-periodic oscillations. Four frequencies of the oscillations are extracted by Fourier transforms. They agree with actions of photon closed-orbits going away and returning to the atom. These oscillations are explained as manifestations of quantum interference effects between the emitted photon wave near the atom and the returning photon waves travelling along various closed-orbits.

Manipulation of Spontaneous Emission via Quantum Interference in an Elliptically Polarized Laser Field

Manipulation of spontaneous emission from an atom confined in three kinds of modified reservoirs has been investigated by means of an elliptically polarized laser field. Some interesting phenomena such as the multi-peak structure, extreme spectral narrowing, and cancellation of spontaneous emission can be observed by adjusting controllable system parameters. Moreover, these phenomena depend on the constructive or destructive quantum interference between multiple decay channels and which can be changed appreciably by varying the phase difference between the two circularly polarized components of the probe field. These results demonstrate the importance of an elliptically polarized laser field in controlling the spontaneous emission and its potential applications in high-precision spectroscopy.     

Spontaneous Emission of an Atom in a Spacetime with Two Parallel Reflecting Boundaries

We consider an inertial two-level atom in interaction with a real massless scalar quantum field in a spacetime between two parallel reflecting plane boundaries, and calculate the contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction to the rate of change of the atomic energy. Our results show that there exists a regime of the separation L between the two boundaries such that the excited atom＇s spontaneous emission is impossible. There also exist certain values of the atom＇s position such that the corrections due to the presence of boundaries balance each other, so that the atom＇s spontaneous emission rate is the same as if there were no boundaries at all.

Entanglement Properties Between Two Spatially Separated Atoms with Cascade Configuration in Free Space

We investigate the entanglement properties between two identical atoms with cascade configuration through the retarded dipole-dipole interaction in free space when their spatial separation is on the order of radiation wavelength or less. We analyze the function of Hamiltonian induced by dipole-dipole interaction. By solving master equation, we show that the spontaneous emission induce entanglement and destroy entanglement too. We also show the long life time of entanglement within cascade configuration.     

Control of Spontaneous Emission via a Single Elliptically Polarized Light in a Five-Level Atomic System

We investigate the features of the spontaneous emission spectra in a cold five-level atomic system coupled by a single elliptically polarized control field. We use wave function approach to derive the explicit and analytical expressions of atomic spontaneous emission spectra. It is shown that some interesting phenomena such as spectralline enhancement, spectral-line suppression, spectral-line narrowing, spectral-line splitting and dark fluorescence can be observed in the spectra by appropriately modulating the phase difference between the right-hand circularly (LHC) and left-hand circularly (RHC) polarized components of the elliptically polarized control field and the intensity of external magnetic field. The number of emission peaks, the positions of fluorescence-quenching points can be also controlled. Furthermore, we propose an ultracold 87Rb atomic system for experimental observation. These investigations may find applications in high-precision spectroscopy.

Position Dependent Spontaneous Emission Spectra of a Λ-Type Atomic System Embedded in a Defective Photonic Crystal

We investigate the position dependent spontaneous emission spectra of a Λ-type three-level atom with one transition coupled to the free vacuum reservoir and the other one coupled to a double-band photonic band gap reservoir with a defect mode in the band gap.It is shown that,for the atom at the defect location,we have a two-peak spectrum with a wide dark line due to the strong coupling between the atom and the defect mode.While,when the atom is far from the defect location(or in the absence of the defect mode),the spectrum has three peaks with two dark lines due to the coupling between the atom and the photonic band gap reservoir with the largest density of states near the band edges.On the other hand,we have a four-peak spectrum for the atom at the space in between.Moreover,the average spontaneous emission spectra of the atoms uniformly embedded in high dielectric or low dielectric regions are described.It is shown that the atoms embedded in high(low) dielectric regions far from the defect location,effectively couple to the modes of the lower(upper) photonic band.However,the atoms embedded in high dielectric or low dielectric regions at the defect location,are coupled mainly to the defect modes.While,the atoms uniformly embedded in high(low) dielectric regions with a normal distance from the defect location,are coupled to both of defect and lower(upper) photonic band modes.
