On enhancing spectral resolution via correlated spontaneous emission Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Correlated spontaneous emission from a single three-level atom in a cascade configuration can yield subnatural line narrowing beyond the usual radiative broadening. The effect is observed in the second-order coherence properties of the radiated field.
