摘要:

本文计算了三维简谐势中两个全同原子J= 1/2到J=1/2跃迁的共振荧光干涉图样。原子的热运动也包括在内。与实验[Eichmann et al.,物理修订版信函70,2359(1993)]。与一些理论预测相反,但与本计算一致,可以观察到大于50%的条纹可见度与偏振选择检测。条纹可见度对偏振的依赖性有一个简单的解释,基于原则上是否可能确定哪个原子发射光子。

英文摘要:

The interference pattern of the resonance fluorescence from a J=1/2 to J=1/2 transition of two identical atoms confined in a three-dimensional harmonic potential is calculated. Thermal motion of the atoms is included. Agreement is obtained with experiments [Eichmann et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2359 (1993)]. Contrary to some theoretical predictions, but in agreement with the present calculations, a fringe visibility greater than 50% can be observed with polarization-selective detection. The dependence of the fringe visibility on polarization has a simple interpretation, based on whether or not it is possible in principle to determine which atom emitted the photon.
