The spontaneous emission decay dynamics of a tripod configuration four-level atom driven by a single laser field is studied. Under different initial conditions, we discuss the effects of quantum interference and detuning of external driving field on atomic spontaneous emission properties. For the larger detuning, the interesting phenomena of the spectral line narrowing are found which stem from the contribution of external driving field.
Chen et al.proposed the concepts of effective temperature of photon and entropy constant of photon in a recent paper [Chen Z S,Mo S P,Hu P.Recent progress in thermodynamics of radiation―exergy of radiation,effective temperature of photon and entropy constant of photon.Sci China Ser E-Tech Sci,2008,51(8):1096―1109] by enduing a single photon with macroscale thermodynamic parameters such as exergy and entropy.This paper argues that applying these concepts and their inferences to macro-scale thermodynamic system will lead to the results which conflict with macroscale thermodynamic laws.This means that the concepts of effective temperature of photon and entropy constant of photon are not correct.

陈则韶等人在"辐射热力学的新进展——辐射有效能光量子等效温度光量子熵常数"(中文版见中国科学E辑:技术科学,2009,39(4):609～617;英文版见Sci China Ser E-Tech Sci,2008,51(8):1096―1109)—文中,通过赋予单个光子以有效能和熵等宏观热力学参数,提出了光子等效温度和光子熵常数概念.本文证明若将这些概念及其推论用于宏观热力学系统,将得到违背宏观热力学定律的结论,说明光子等效温度和光子熵常数概念是错误的.
