Micromaser on a single atom with optical pumping
Alexander Ya. Kazakov · Quantum and Semiclassical Optics Journal of the European Optical Society Part B · 1998
If an atom interacts with a classical field and quantized mode simultaneously, exchange by photons between the different components of the field is possible. Such systems can be exploited in order to generate radiation in the quantized mode and can be considered as a micromaser with optical pumping. The process of generation of the quantized field and the quantum-statistical characteristics of this radiation are under investigation.
