Abstract

In a micromaser, the evolution of cavity-field entropy and the Fano factor with the injected atomic number is investigated with and without the rotating-wave approximation. The micromaser may become a decreasing-entropy system under specific system parameters. Virtual-photon processes cause an additional quantum oscillation which relates to the atom–field coupling constant and the field frequency.
