Abstract

The interaction of an atomic ensemble localized in a microcavity with external electromagnetic fields under Raman resonance conditions with an optically forbidden atomic transition involving photons of the microcavity mode has been described in terms of third-order polynomial algebra. It has been shown that atoms and photons localized in the microcavity under these conditions form a united object, an atom-photon cluster, on the states of which the irreducible representations of polynomial algebra are implemented. Classical coherent and quantum broadband electromagnetic fields are considered as external fields. The effective Hamiltonian, effective dipole moment operator, and relaxation operator of the atom-photon cluster are expressed in terms of the generators of polynomial algebra, which is the algebra of the dynamical symmetry of the problem. The developed mathematical technique has been applied to describe the main radiative processes—spontaneous emission and nutation effect—on atom-photon clusters. All of these effects are peculiar and differ from similar phenomena on two-level atoms, but only simple cases of the mentioned radiative processes have been considered.
