摘要: We investigate an atomic $\Lambda$-system with one transition coupled to a laser field and flat continuum of vacuum modes the other near edge photonic band gap. The system requires simultaneous treatment Markovian non-Markovian dissipation processes, but gap can not be eliminated within density matrix treatment. Instead we propose formalism based on Monte-Carlo wavefunctions, present results relevant experimental characterization structured continuum.
