Abstract

We have used matrix continued fraction methods pioneered previously, to solve essentially exactly for the dynamics of the one ⁸⁵Rb atom micromaser. A range of cavity Q values and of average atomic input rates R equals T_p^-1 and of atomic interaction times t_int is studied. For T_p approximately greater than 200t_int the system does evolve to a steady state. And even Q equals 5 multiplied by 10¹⁰ and temperature T equals 0.070 degrees K are apparently insufficient to avoid evolution to a steady state with finite variance of the cavity field when t_int equals 1.54/44 kHz unless T_p is also substantially reduced. Only in this way are actual trapping state dynamics obtained. The field variance v is not a good diagnostic for observing such trapping state dynamics.
