Photon antibunching and bunching in a ring-resonator waveguide quantum electrodynamics system

Opt Lett. 2016 Jul 15;41(14):3313-6. doi: 10.1364/OL.41.003313.

Abstract

We numerically investigate the photonic state generation and its nonclassical correlations in a ring-resonator waveguide quantum electrodynamics system. Specifically, we discuss photon antibunching and bunching in various scenarios, including the imperfect resonator with backscattering and dissipations. Our numerical results indicate that an imperfect ring resonator with backscattering can enhance the quality of antibunching. In addition, we also identify the quantum photonic halo phenomenon in the photon scattering dynamics and the shoulder effect in the second-order correlation function.
