Perturbative approach to diatomic lattices

By using a small rotation approach, we show that it is possible to obtain well behaved perturbed solutions for the amplitude of the electromagnetic field propagating in a photonic waveguide array. This array mimics the propagation of a quasiparticle among the sites of an infinite one-dimensional chain.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

Effect of the nearby levels on the resonance fluorescence spectrum of the atom-field interaction

We study the resonance fluorescence in the Jaynes-Cummings model when nearby levels are taking into account. We show that the Stark shift produced by such levels generates a displacement of the peaks of the resonance fluorescence due to an induced effective detuning and also induces an asymmetry. Specific results are presented assuming a coherent and a thermal fields
