Abstract

In a system of N quantum harmonic oscillators interacting through the cavity mode, the effect of radiation trapping is proved to be present. When a small fraction of the oscillators is initially excited, the excitation remains localized on the prepared oscillators. Weak anharmonicity results in additional slow oscillations of the mean population numbers of the initially excited oscillators with amplitudes of order N⁻¹. An application to a Dehmelt cyclotron micromaser is briefly discussed.
