Radiative properties of strongly driven atoms in the presence of photonic bands and gaps

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that the presence of photonic bands and gaps dramatically modifies the properties of single-atom resonance fluorescence. When, for example, photonic gaps suppress radiative emission on one or both of the strong-field resonance fluorescence sidebands, a driven atom is found to emit monochromatic radiation that is insensitive to fluctuations in the driving-field intensity and does not display the photon antibunching that is normally associated with single-atom resonance fluorescence. In such situations the atom’s radiative properties come to resemble those of a perfectly classical dipole.
