Abstract
In this chapter we illustrate the general methods developed in previous chapters by applying them to a dissipative atomic system in a dissipative cavity. Except for atoms modeled as harmonic oscillators, this system can not generally be treated analytically exactly. In this chapter we consider a system of two-level atoms. We pay attention to theoretically and experimentally interesting situation of strong atom-field coupling. We discuss the ways of probing the characteristic features of such a strongly coupled atoms-cavity system by means of an external drive. Finally, we outline the method of treating the situation wherein atoms are pumped in to a cavity one at a time. This constitutes what is known as a micromaser.
