Quantum Interference Effects in Spontaneous Emission Spectrum of a Four-level Atom Coup- led to an Isotropic PBG Reservoir 1 Li Jiang , Hanzhuang Zhang Department of Physics , Jilin University, Changchun, 130023 P.R.China Abstract The model of a four-level atom embedded in a double-band photonic crystal is adopted. The atomic transitions from the upper two levels to the lower two levels are assumed to be coupled by the isotropic PBG reservoir. The effects of quantum interferences and the splitting of lower level on the spontaneous emission spectrum of such a system are investigated in details. The new spontaneous lines resulting from quantum interferences and splitting of the lower level are analyzed. Keywords: Spontaneous emission, Isotropic PBG, Quantum interference 1 Introduction Photonic crystal is a periodic dielectric structure with the existence of photonic band gaps (PBG). The electromagnetic field propagation in the PBG is classically forbidden [1].As the PBG structures have a density of states (DOS) of emission field which is different from that of free-space vacuum field [2]-[5], the study of quantum and nonlinear optical phenomena for archetypes effects, such as the localization of light [6]-[7], photon-atom bound states [4]-[8], suppression and even complete cancellation of spontaneous emission [9]-[10], enhancement of spontaneous emission [11]-[13], electromagnetically induced transparency and oth
