Abstract

The deterministic single-photon emission by means of STIRAP through the atoms with degenerate levels is studied. The expression for the polarization matrix of the emitted photon is obtained and its dependence on the polarization of the driving laser field and on the initial atomic state is examined.

Keywords

single-photon emission STIRAP degenerate levels polarization matrix driving laser field initial atomic state
