A. Napoli et A. Messina, Coupling of single atom with localized modes associated to defects in one-dimensional photonic crystals, RADIAT EFF, 147(1-2), 1998, pp. 127-132
The Hamiltonian model describing the interaction between a two-level atom w
ith two electromagnetic localized modes in an imperfect one-dimensional pho
tonic crystals is introduced. The possibility of generating Schroedinger-ca
t-like states of these defect modes is reported. The physical origin of thi
s dynamical behaviour is pointed out.
