Description
Summary:We theoretically investigate an ultrastrong-coupled micromaser based on Rydberg atoms interacting with a superconducting LC resonator, where the common rotating-wave approximation and slowly varying envelope approximation are no longer applicable. The effect of counter-rotating terms on masing dynamics is studied in detail. We find that the intraresonator electric energy declines and the microwave oscillation frequency shifts significantly in the regime of ultrastrong coupling. Additionally, the micromaser phase fluctuation is suppressed, resulting in a reduced spectral linewidth.
