Abstract
We demonstrate the possibility of preparing low-photon-number eigenstates of a single damped cavity mode coupled to a single three-level atom in a Raman lambda configuration. As an example we discuss cesium and show that both the atom-field coupling strength and the cavity loss rate needed for an experimental realization of the proposed scheme lie within 1 order of magnitude of what is achievable in current experimental setups.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
