Abstract
Early results of Agarwal and Jha [Z. Phys. B 35, 391 (1979)] are used to examine the question of quantum jumps in a Raman (Λ) system driven by two coherent fields. We discuss both short-time (γ1t≲1) and long-time (γ2t≊1) behavior of the intensity correlations assuming that the Stokes transition is very weak, γ2≪γ1. We calculate the counting statistics of the dark periods using the higher-order intensity correlations. The results differ from those obtained using arguments based on population trapping which predict only a very rare "jump" event. The intermittence in fluorescence produced by a coherently driven Λ system is interpreted in terms of an equivalent two-state Markov process.
