Zusammenfassung: | |
This thesis contributes to the field of collective effects in atomic ensembles. We explore synchronization of superradiant lasers in different coupling configurations and study superradiance in off-resonantly probed atomic ensembles, where we take into account the complete level structure of alkali metal atoms. In the first part we introduce the superradiant laser and extend the discussion of synchronization of symmetrically coupled superradiant lasers to unidirectional coupled superradiant lasers. We show that synchronization is also present when we replace the superradi- ant laser couplings with classical channels, meaning the synchronization can be considered a classical effect. In the second part we generalize a widely used approximation method taking into account lower order atom-atom correlations — the cumulant expansion method — to a basis independent formalism. We implement this formalism in a Python program allowing us to numerically calculate the n-atom reduced density matrix and two-time correlation functions for ensembles of multi-level atoms. This method allows us to study the stationary state of an ensemble of off-resonantly probed alkali metal atoms with a ground-state manifold consisting of many hyperfine levels. We show that collective effects in light-matter interaction depends on the tensor-polarizability of atoms and therefore cannot be explained on the basis of two-level-approximations. | |
