Photon Correlation versus Interference of Single-Atom Fluorescence in a Half-Cavity
Photon Correlation versus Interference of Single-Atom Fluorescence in a Half-Cavity
Photon correlations are investigated for a single laser-excited ion trapped in front of a mirror. Varying the relative distance between the ion and the mirror, photon correlation statistics can be tuned smoothly from an antibunching minimum to a bunching-like maximum. Our analysis concerns the non-Markovian regime of the ion-mirror interaction …
