Theoretical analysis of the resonance fluorescence correlation spectrum of three-level multi-mer 85Rb atomic system

Abstract

In a vapor cell, [Formula: see text] is the average velocity of the moving atoms. When [Formula: see text], the in-homogeneous broadening of the atomic spectral lines is important when taking into account thermal Doppler broadening. We also discover that the narrowing mechanism for inter-atomic with different components has more influence on the Doppler line-shape. Thus, the spectral line broadening of two-level and three-level multi-mer [Formula: see text] atom is not only influenced by the in-homogeneous Doppler broadening, but also affected by the Dicke narrowing effect. The fluorescence spectrum affords a good possibility for a detailed study of Dicke narrowing effect and thermal Doppler broadening effect. We analyze the influence of multi-mer [Formula: see text] atomic system component on resonance fluorescence spectrum (RFS). Based on the quantum regression theorem, we develop a method and derive a general analytical expression for the two-dimensional (2D) fluorescence correlation spectrum of three-level [Formula: see text] atomic system.
