Effects of classical drivings on the power broadening of atomic lineshapes

TL;DR

This paper studies how classical driving fields influence the power broadening of atomic spectral lines within the Jaynes-Cummings model, focusing on thermal cavity fields and external classical influences.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed analysis of classical driving effects on atomic lineshapes in the Jaynes-Cummings framework, including thermal and external field interactions.

Findings

Lineshape variations depend on thermal photon number and classical coupling strength.

Classical driving can significantly modify power broadening effects.

Results are validated through numerical simulations.

Abstract

In the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model, we investigate how atomic lineshapes are affected by coherently driving the atom-field interaction. We pay particular attention to the two-level atom interaction with a thermal cavity field, when both are influenced by external classical fields. Adopting a density matrix formalism, we calculate the average atomic inversion and demonstrate how the corresponding lineshapes vary as a function of the average number of thermal photons, and the atom-field classical coupling. Furthermore, we compare these results with those obtained from the standard Jaynes-Cummings model and validate our findings through numerical calculations.
