Cavity-damping-induced transitions in a driven atom-cavity system

Nha, H, An, K · CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2001

We investigate the fluorescence spectrum of a two-level atom in a cavity when the atom is driven by a classical field. We show that forbidden dipole transitions in the Jaynes-Cummings Ladder structure are induced in the presence of the cavity damping, which deteriorates the degree of otherwise perfect destructive interference among the transition channels. With the larger cavity decay, these transitions are more enhanced.
