Positive-P phase space method simulation in superradiant emission from a cascade atomic ensemble

Abstract

The superradiant emission properties from an atomic ensemble with cascade level configuration is numerically simulated. The correlated spontaneous emissions (signal then idler fields) are purely stochastic processes which are initiated by quantum fluctuations. We utilize the positive-P phase space method to investigate the dynamics of the atoms and counter-propagating emissions. The light field intensities are calculated, and the signal-idler correlation function is studied for different optical depths of the atomic ensemble. Shorter correlation time scale for a denser atomic ensemble implies a broader spectral window needed to store or retrieve the idler pulse.
