Photon statistics and quantum jumps: the picture of the dressed atom radiative cascade

Résumé

The statistics of spontaneous photon emission times in single atom resonance fluorescence are investigated through the radiative cascade of the dressed atom. The delay function which gives the distribution of the delays between two successive emissions is calculated for a coherent as well as an incoherent laser excitation. For a two-level atom, various signals that reflect the fluorescence intensity (average value, photon counting, fluctuation spectrum, etc.) are reviewed by this method. For a three-level atom, this approach is applied to the analysis of the recently observed phenomenon of intermittent fluorescence and quantum jumps.\textless\textgreater
