摘要
We present a theoretical analysis of a two-photon micromaser and investigate the statistical properties of the radiation. We analyze both vacuum as well as non-vacuum trapped states that follow from the theory. Non-vaccum trapped states have not been found in previous theories of the two-photon micromaser. We explore how photon number states can be generated in the limit of large flux of atoms in the cavity. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
