Figure 7
Frequency-resolved Monte Carlo simulation of the Mollow triplet in independent frequency windows. The dotted (solid) lineshape is the triplet as detected by an ideal (finite-bandwidth Γ) detector. Sequences of clicks in the frequency windows i–v have been recorded, with 17241, 22836, 99457, 9112 and 46126 events, respectively. Small samples are displayed, in the same time window (black ticks, up) or with renormalization of time to compare equal intensities (green ticks, bottom). Clear structures are visible even to the naked eye, in particular, the existence of leapfrog emission is obvious. Only one detector has been used, so the streams are not here cross-correlated. The autocorrelations are shown as measured by the Monte Carlo data (left column), as computed by the theory of frequency-resolved photon correlation (2nd column, red) and both superimposed (right column), to show their rich fine structure and the overall agreement. The effective quantum state reconstruction is shown at the bottom, together with fits to fundamental distributions. Panel v has its successive emission probabilities brought together to show the exponential extinction of higher photon-numbers. 1/γ σ sets the unit, Ω = 5γ σ and Γ = γ σ . The clicks correspond to the emission events of the operators c4 and c5 in Eq. (18b).
