Polarization Properties of the "Photon Pistol"
arXiv:1203.4390 · doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2012.07.038
Abstract
The deterministic single-photon emission by means of STIRAP through the atoms with degenerate levels is studied. The expression for the polarization matrix of the emitted photon is obtained and its dependence on the polarization of the driving laser field and on the initial atomic state is examined.
