Resonance Fluorescence of a Two-Level Atom Near a Metal Surface.

Abstract

A derivation of surface-dressed optical Bloch equations, involving a treatment of surface-reflected photons and a surface plasmon resonance, is presented for a collision-damped tow-level atom near or adsorbed on a metal surface. Effects of the laser bandwidth are included by means of a phase-diffusion model for the driving field. In the weak-field or large detuning limit, the population inversion and resonance fluorescence spectrum are obtained and analytically. These quantities along with the surface-induced phase-decay constant of the adatom show strong oscillatory behavior as a function of the adatom-surface distance.
