Control, with a rf field, of photon emission times by a single molecule and its connection to laser-induced localization of an electron in a double well

We simulate an experiment in which a single molecule is simultaneously expo sed to light resonating with a transition and to rf radiation. We show how the rf radiation can be used to control the statistical properties of the p hoton emission events (e.g., the time between successive photon emissions). This process is isomorphic with laser-induced localization of an electron in a semiconductor double well. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
