Abstract
We report several new interesting aspects of coherence and entanglement behaviour that emerge in the interaction of a finite-size atomic ensemble with degenerate counter-propagating field modes of a high-Q ring cavity when the size of the atomic ensemble is not taken to the thermodynamic limit of N → ∞. It is found that the counter-propagating cavity modes, although in the thermodynamic limit are mutually incoherent and exhibit no correlations, the modes can, however, be made mutually correlated and exhibit interference, super-bunching effect, and produce squeezing and entanglement.
