Intensity correlations in cavity QED
G. T. Foster, S. L. Mielke, Luis A. Orozco · Physical Review A · 2000
The second-order intensity correlation function of light transmitted out of a cavity QED system exhibits the nonclassical features and dynamics of the atom-field interaction. We present measurements of the intensity correlation to examine the size of the nonclassical features and the dependence on driving intensity, detuning, and the strength of the atom-field coupling. We use a model that takes into account experimental conditions to achieve a quantitative agreement with the observations.
