Effects of squeezing on the power broadening and shifts of micromaser lineshapes

Abstract

It is well known that AC Stark shifts have an impact on the dynamics of atoms interacting with a near-resonant quantized single-mode cavity field, which is relevant for single-atom micromasers. In this study, we demonstrate that when the field is in a squeezed coherent state, the micromaser lines are highly sensitive to the squeezing parameter. Furthermore, we show that when considering a superposition of squeezed coherent states with equal amplitude, the displacement of the transition lines depends significantly not only on the squeezing parameter but also on its sign.
