INFLUENCE OF THE DIPOLE-DIPOLE INTERACTION BETWEEN ATOMS ON THE PHASE PROPERTIES OF LIGHT

The time evolution and the statistic characteristic of the light phase in the Tavis-Cummings (T-C) model of two identical two-level atoms coupled to a strong coherent light field are studied by means of the Pegg-Barnett phase theory. It is proved that the dipole-dipole interaction between atoms will lead to the frequency shift of light, the weakening of the degree of atom-field coupling and the restraint of light phase diffusion.
