Abstract
We have derived1c-number Bloch-Maxwell type equations from a quantum theory for 2-level atoms occupying a macroscopic region of space stimulated by a coherent-state e.m. field of radial frequency ω plus a broad-band correlated squeezed vacuum field of arbitrary 3-dimensional geometry with a carrier frequency ωp, including geometries which could be created by an optical parametric oscillator. Expectation values of Heisenberg’s equations with a matter-field decorrelation followed by an ensemble average over atom sites xi yield, in a frame rotating at the eqns. (1), (2). The sites xi occupy a slab-like region V which ultimately forms a Fabry-Perot Cavity: there is no intermolecular correlation (the dielectric in V is ‘smooth’).
