- Abstract summary: We show that for finite detuning multiple packet structures can exist simultaneously, oscillating at different frequencies and amplitudes.
While we give analytical limits for the maximally achievable photon number, surprisingly, dephasing processes can push the photon occupations towards higher photon numbers.

- Abstract: If a two-level system coupled to a single-mode cavity is strongly driven by
an external laser, instead of a continuous accumulation of photons in the
cavity, oscillations in the mean photon number occur. These oscillations
correspond to peaks of finite width running up and down in the photon number
distribution, reminiscent of wave packets in linear chain models. A single wave
packet is found if the cavity is resonant to the external laser. Here, we show
that for finite detuning multiple packet structures can exist simultaneously,
oscillating at different frequencies and amplitudes. We further study the
influence of dissipative effects resulting in the formation of a stationary
state, which depending on the parameters can be characterized by a bimodal
photon number distribution. While we give analytical limits for the maximally
achievable photon number in the absence of any dissipation, surprisingly,
dephasing processes can push the photon occupations towards higher photon
numbers.

chains [0.0]
We provide conditions for optimal absorption, long-lived and dispersionless storage, and release of a single photon in a sub-wavelength one-dimensional lattice of two-level emitters.
The first is based on the uncovering of approximate flat sections in the single-photon spectrum, such as a single photon can be stored as a wave packet with effective zero group velocity.
For the second scheme we exploit the angular dependence of the interactions induced between the emitters and mediated via exchange of virtual photons, which on a ring gives rise to an effective trapping potential for the photon.
