Abstract
The coupled-systems approach of Gardiner [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2269 (1993)] and Carmichael [Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 2273 (1993)] is used to study the effects of driving systems by a variety of kinds of nonclassical light, namely, squeezed light, two-mode squeezed light, antibunched light from a two-level atom driven by either coherent light or finite-bandwidth thermal light, and the light from a single atom in a very-high-Q cavity. The method is shown to be very efficient and complete. It is also shown that the photon-counting properties of light from an atom driven by antibunched light are not determined solely by the antibunching of the driving light.Keywords
