Collective atomic scattering and motional effects in a dense coherent medium

SL Bromley, B Zhu, M Bishof, X Zhang… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
We investigate collective emission from coherently driven ultracold 88Sr atoms. We perform
two sets of experiments using a strong and weak transition that are insensitive and sensitive …

Mesoscopic coherence in light scattering from cold, optically dense and disordered atomic systems

DV Kupriyanov, IM Sokolov, MD Havey - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Coherent effects manifested in light scattering from cold, optically dense and disordered
atomic systems are reviewed from a primarily theoretical point of view. Development of the …

Light scattering from dense cold atomic media

B Zhu, J Cooper, J Ye, AM Rey - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We theoretically study the propagation of light through a cold atomic medium, where the
effects of motion, laser intensity, atomic density, and polarization can all modify the …

Role of disorder in super-and subradiance of cold atomic clouds

F Cottier, R Kaiser, R Bachelard - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
The presence of superradiance and subradiance in microscopic and mean-field approaches
to light scattering in atomic media is investigated. We show that these phenomena are …

Coherent and incoherent multiple scattering

J Chabé, MT Rouabah, L Bellando, T Bienaimé… - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We compare two different models of transport of light in a disordered system with a spherical
Gaussian distribution of scatterers. A coupled dipole model, taking into account all …

[HTML][HTML] Collective spontaneous emission and kinetic equations for one-photon light in random media

J Kraisler, JC Schotland - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We consider the theory of spontaneous emission for a random medium of stationary two-
level atoms. We investigate the dynamics of the field and atomic probability amplitudes for a …

Multiple scattering model of the quantum random Lorentz gas

D Gaspard, JM Sparenberg - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
A multiple scattering model of a quantum particle interacting with a random Lorentz gas of
fixed point scatterers is established in an Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. At the core …

Coherence effects in scattering order expansion of light by atomic clouds

MT Rouabah, M Samoylova, R Bachelard… - JOSA A, 2014 - opg.optica.org
We interpret cooperative scattering by a collection of cold atoms as a multiple-scattering
process. Starting from microscopic equations describing the response of N atoms to a probe …

Super-and subradiance in dilute disordered cold atomic samples: observations and interpretations

W Guerin - Advances In Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
When a photon is sent onto an atomic ensemble, it interacts collectively with the N atoms of
the sample and not simply with one of them. This results in measurable modifications in the …

Comparison of three approaches to light scattering by dilute cold atomic ensembles

IM Sokolov, W Guerin - JOSA B, 2019 - opg.optica.org
Collective effects in the atom–light interaction are of great importance for cold-atom-based
quantum devices or fundamental studies on light transport in complex media. Here we …
