摘要: We have established the master equation for the micromaser with the ultra-cold Λ-type three-level atoms and studied the photon statistics of the micromaser field. We find that as the atoms become colder,the change of the mean photon-number and the normalized standerd deviation become more regular, and their resonance peaks become sharper. For zero-temperature cavity,there are some regins in which the photon statistics are sub-Poissonian.With the increase of the cavity temperature,both the mean photon-number and the normalized standard deviation increase. When the cavity temperature is high enough, the sub-Poissonian property may disappear.

Abstract: We have established the master equation for the micromaser with the ultra-cold $\varLambda$-type three-level atoms and studied the photon statistics of the micromaser field. We find that as the atoms become colder,the change of the mean photon-number and the normalized standerd deviation become more regular, and their resonance peaks become sharper. For zero-temperature cavity,there are some regins in which the photon statistics are sub-Poissonian.With the increase of the cavity temperature,both the mean photon-number and the normalized standard deviation increase. When the cavity temperature is high enough, the sub-Poissonian property may disappear.
