Non-Markovian Decay and Lasing Condition in an Optical Microcavity Coupled to a Structured Reservoir
The decay dynamics of the classical electromagnetic field in a leaky optical resonator supporting a single mode coupled to a structured continuum of modes (reservoir) is theoretically investigated, and the issue of threshold condition for lasing in presence of an inverted medium is comprehensively addressed. Specific analytical results are given for a single-mode microcavity resonantly coupled ...
متن کاملNon-Markovian decay of an atom coupled to a reservoir: Modification by frequency modulation
A two-level atom coupled to a reservoir with Lorentzian spectral response function is considered. It is shown that if the free oscillations of the atomic dipole are suitably modulated by an external field, then the dynamics of the spontaneous decay can be strongly modified. As a result, the probability of finding the atom in an excited state can be large even for very long times. This is becaus...
متن کاملNon-Markovian decay of a three-level cascade atom in a structured reservoir
The dynamics of a three-level atom in a cascade ~or ladder! configuration with both transitions coupled to a single structured reservoir of quantized electromagnetic field modes is treated using Laplace transform methods applied to the coupled amplitude equations. In this system two-photon excitation of the reservoir occurs, and both sequences for emitting the two photons are allowed and includ...
متن کاملCrossover from polariton lasing to exciton lasing in a strongly coupled ZnO microcavity.
Unlike conventional photon lasing, in which the threshold is limited by the population inversion of the electron-hole plasma, the exciton lasing generated by exciton-exciton scattering and the polariton lasing generated by dynamical condensates have received considerable attention in recent years because of the sub-Mott density and low-threshold operation. This paper presents a novel approach t...
متن کاملPolariton lasing vs. photon lasing in a semiconductor microcavity.
Nearly one decade after the first observation of Bose-Einstein condensation in atom vapors and realization of matter-wave (atom) lasers, similar concepts have been demonstrated recently for polaritons: half-matter, half-light quasiparticles in semiconductor microcavities. The half-light nature of polaritons makes polariton lasers promising as a new source of coherent and nonclassical light with...
