Abstract

A fundamental problem in optical physics is the interaction of two-level atoms with the electromagnetic field of a resonant cavity. Our experiments [1] with two-state sodium atoms are directed towards a quantitative investigation of the steady-state characteristics, dynamical behavior and the quantum statistical nature of the atom-field interaction in such a system. We report absolute comparisons between experiment and the single-mode theory of optical bistability with a Gaussian transverse profile.
