Making analogy with atomic physics is a powerful tool for photonic technology, witnessed by the recent development in topological photonics and non-Hermitian photonics based on parity-time symmetry. The Mollow triplet is a prominent atomic effect with both fundamental and technological importance. Here we demonstrate the analog of the Mollow triplet with quantum photonic systems. Photonic entanglement is generated with spontaneous nonlinear processes in dressed photonic modes, which are introduced through coherent multimode coupling. We further demonstrate the possibility of the photonic system to realize different configurations of dressed states, leading to modification of the Mollow triplet. Our work would enable the investigation of complex atomic processes and the realization of unique quantum functionalities based on photonic systems.
将原子物理进行类比是光子技术的一个强大工具,拓扑光子学和基于宇称-时间对称性的非厄米光子学的最新发展证明了这一点。莫洛三重态是一种具有重要基础和技术意义的显著原子效应。在此,我们展示了量子光子系统中的莫洛三重态类比。通过相干多模耦合引入的修饰光子模式中的自发非线性过程产生光子纠缠。我们进一步证明了光子系统实现不同修饰态构型的可能性,从而导致莫洛三重态的改变。我们的工作将有助于研究复杂的原子过程,并基于光子系统实现独特的量子功能。
