Spectrum of the cavity-QED microlaser: strong coupling effects in the frequency pulling at off resonance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the first experimental observation of the cavity-QED microlaser spectrum, specifically the unconventional frequency pulling brought by a strong atom-cavity coupling at off resonance. The pulling is enhanced quadratically by the atom-cavity coupling to result in a sensitive response to the number of pumping atoms (2.1 kHz per atom maximally). Periodic variation of the pulling due to the coherent Rabi oscillation is also observed as the number of pumping atoms is increased across multiple thresholds.

Observation of Multiple Thresholds in the Many-Atom Cavity QED Microlaser
We report the observation of multiple laser thresholds in the many-atom cavity QED microlaser. Traveling-wave coupling and a supersonic atom beam are used to create a well-defined atom-cavity interaction. Multiple thresholds are observed as jumps in photon number due to oscillatory gain. Although the number of intra-cavity atoms is large, up to N ∼ 10, the dynamics of the microlaser agree with ...
متن کاملTheory of quantum light emission from a strongly-coupled single quantum dot photonic-crystal cavity system.
We present a rigorous medium-dependent theory for describing the quantum field emitted and detected from a single quantum dot exciton, strongly coupled to a planar photonic crystal nanocavity, from which the exact spectrum is derived. By using simple mode decomposition techniques, this exact spectrum is subsequently reduced to two separate user-friendly forms, in terms of the leaky cavity mode ...
متن کاملEfficient atomic quantum memory for photonic qubits in cavity QED
We investigate a scheme of atomic quantum memory to store photonic qubits of polarization in cavity QED. It is observed that the quantum-state swapping between a single-photon pulse and a Λ-type atom can be made via scattering in an optical cavity [T. W. Chen, C. K. Law, P. T. Leung, Phys. Rev. A 69 (2004) 063810]. This swapping operates limitedly in the strong coupling regime for Λ-type atoms ...
متن کاملObservation of sub-poisson photon statistics in the cavity-QED microlaser.
We have measured the second-order correlation function of the cavity-QED microlaser output and observed a transition from photon bunching to antibunching with increasing average number of intracavity atoms. The observed correlation times and the transition from super- to sub-Poisson photon statistics can be well described by gain-loss feedback or enhanced-reduced restoring action against fluctu...
متن کاملCavity-QED assisted attraction between a cavity mode and an exciton mode in a planar photonic-crystal cavity.
The photoluminescence spectra from a quantum-dot exciton weakly-coupled to a planar photonic-crystal cavity is experimentally investigated by temperature tuning. Significant resonance shifts of the cavity mode are observed as the cavity mode spectrally approaches that of the exciton mode, showing the appearance of cavity-to-exciton attraction or mode pulling. Cavity-mode spectral shifts are als...
