Field Oscillations in a Micromaser with Injected Atomic Coherence

The electric field in a lossless, regularly-pumped micromaser with injected atomic coherence can undergo a period 2 oscillations in the steady state. The field changes its value after a single atom passes through the micromaser cavity, but returns to its original value after a second atom travels through. We give a simple explanation for this phenomenon in terms of tangent and cotangent states. We also examine the effect of cavity damping on this steady state.
