Coupled Cavity Modes

Abstract

We consider a system of two harmonic quantum oscillators in interaction with a white noise ‘heat’ bath and discuss peculiarities due to their induced coupling. We derive from the Markov approximation exact expressions for the stationary occupation numbers, the spectrum of the emitted light and the intensity correlation functions. We compare the results to the situation of coupled two-level atoms.
