Abstract

We present analytic expressions for the scattering of light by an extended atomic cloud. We obtain the solution for the mean-field excitation of different atomic spherical distributions driven by a uniform laser, including the initial build up, the steady state and the decay after the laser is switched off. We show that the mean-field model does not describe subradiant scattering due to the negative interference of the photons scattered by N discrete atoms.

原子云协同散射的平均场描述

我们提出了扩展原子云对光散射的解析表达式。我们得到了均匀激光驱动下不同原子球形分布的平均场激发的解，包括初始积累、稳态和关闭激光后的衰减。我们证明了平均场模型不能描述由N个离散原子散射的光子的负干涉引起的次辐射散射。

期刊介绍： Atoms (ISSN 2218-2004) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly journal of scientific studies related to all aspects of the atom. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications; there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided for research articles. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: -manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed. -computed data, program listings, and files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Scopes: -experimental and theoretical atomic, molecular, and nuclear physics, chemical physics -the study of atoms, molecules, nuclei and their interactions and constituents (protons, neutrons, and electrons) -quantum theory, applications and foundations -microparticles, clusters -exotic systems (muons, quarks, anti-matter) -atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopy and collisions -nuclear energy (fusion and fission), radioactive decay -nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR), hyperfine interactions -orbitals, valence and bonding behavior -atomic and molecular properties (energy levels, radiative properties, magnetic moments, collisional data) and photon interactions
