Abstract

We have recently developed the first working single-atom microlaser1 in which coherent light is generated by means of the interaction of a single two- level atom with a single mode of the radiation field. The photon generation process follows the Jaynes-Cummings model, and photon buildup is initiated by vacuum Rabi oscillations, not by spontaneous emission as in conventional lasers. We measured the mean photon number in the cavity 〈n〉 as a function of the average number of atoms present there 〈N〉.
