Counting Photons in the Lambda-Experiment
arXiv:1207.1058
Abstract
Dehmelt's Lambda-experiment for a three-level atom with simultaneously driven strong and weak transition is studied within quantum stochastic calculus approach. The statistics of the emitted photons is found by the method of generating functional of the corresponding two dimensional output counting process. In particular, the average waiting times for a count are calculated.
