摘要：

We study theoretically the interference of the resonance fluorescence from two atoms coupled to an optical cavity mode. Atom-atom correlations induced by the cavity alter the fringe visibility, which provides a measurement of collective atomic behavior. We use quantum trajectories to explain the loss of mutual coherence for strong excitation and propose a phase-selective measurement to partially restore the coherence. A "which-path" explanation for the loss of coherence is also discussed. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
