Steady-state Fano coherences in a V-type system driven by polarized incoherent light

Abstract

We explore the properties of steady-state noise-induced (Fano) coherences generated in a three-level V-system continuously pumped by polarized incoherent light in the absence of coherent driving. By solving the nonsecular Bloch-Redfield quantum master equation, we obtain the ratio of the stationary coherences to excited-state populations,
