Transmission and correlation of a two-photon pulse in a one-dimensional waveguide coupled with quantum emitters

Transmission and correlation properties of a two-photon pulse are studied in a one-dimensional waveguide (1DW) in the presence of three types of quantum emitters: two-level atom (TLA), side optical cavity (SOC), and Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM). Since there are many plane-wave components for a two-photon pulse, a nonlinear waveguide dispersion is used instead of the linearized one. The two-photon transmission spectra become flatter with decreasing the pulse width. With respect to the δ coupling between the 1DW and quantum emitter the transmission dips show a blueshift for the non-δ one and the blueshift first increases and then decreases with increasing the width of the coupling. The TLA and JCM can induce an effective photon-photon interaction that depends on the distance between the two photons, while the SOC cannot. We show that the 1DW coupled with the TLA or JCM is able to evaluate the overlap of the two photons and that the non-δ coupling has potential for controlling the two-photon correlation.
