Figure 4: Time-resolved changes in single-photon transmission rates.
From: Time-resolved scattering of a single photon by a single atom
Changes in the forward detection rates δ(ti)=Rf,0(ti)−Rf(ti) induced by the interaction with the atom for exponentially decaying (a) and rising (b) probe photons. The time bin size is 2 ns. Solid lines: analytical solution of equation (6) using equations (1)–(3), for τp=13.3 ns, Λ=0.033. Error bars represent 1 s.d., assuming Poissonian statistics for Rf,0(ti) and Rf(ti).
