How to measure the phase diffusion dynamics in the micromaser / F. Casagrande, A. Ferraro, A. Lulli, R.Bonifacio, E. Solano, H. Walther. - In: PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS. - ISSN 0031-9007. - 90:18(2003), pp. 183601.1-183601.4.
Abstract:
We propose a realistic scheme for measuring the micromaser linewidth by monitoring the phase
diffusion dynamics of the cavity field. Our strategy consists of exciting an initial coherent state with the
same photon number distribution as the micromaser steady-state field, singling out a purely diffusive
process in the system dynamics. After the injection of a counterfield, measurements of the population
statistics of a probe atom allow us to derive the micromaser linewidth in all ranges of the relevant
parameters, establishing experimentally the distinctive features of the micromaser spectrum due to the discreteness of the electromagnetic field.
