| 摘 要： | We report the experimental generation of narrow-band paired photons through electromagnetically induced transparency and spontaneous four-wave mixing in a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap （2D MOT）. By controlling the optical depth of the 2D MOT from 0 to 40, the temporal length of the generated narrow-band paired photons can be varied from 50 to 900 ns. The ＇transition＇ between damped Rabi oscillation and group delay is observed undisputedly. In the damped Rabi oscillation regime, a violation factor of the Cauchy–Schwartz inequality as large as 6642 is observed. In the group delay regime, sub-MHz linewidth （～0.65 MHz） paired photons are obtained with a generation rate of about 0.8×105 s？1.
