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 …

Cooperative scattering has been the subject of intense research in the last years. In this
article, we discuss the concept of cooperative scattering from a broad perspective. We briefly …

In conventional lasers optical cavities are used to provide feedback to gain media. Mirrorless
lasers can be built by using disordered structures to induce multiple scattering, which …

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 …

We experimentally and numerically study the temporal dynamics of light scattered by large
clouds of cold atoms after the exciting laser is switched off, in the low intensity (linear-optics) …

We analyze resonant light scattering by a cloud of cold atoms with randomly distributed
positions in a regime where resonant dipole-dipole interactions between scatterers cannot …

We have observed self-sustained radial oscillations in a large magneto-optical trap,
containing up to 10 10 Rb 85 atoms. This instability is due to the competition between the …

In this paper, we study the modification of coherent scattering processes in dense
ensembles. Using absorption imaging, we experimentally demonstrate that the absorption …

We present a review of properties of ultracold atomic Fermi-Bose mixtures in
inhomogeneous and random optical lattices. In the strong interacting limit and at very low …

We report the experimental observation of collective multimode vacuum Rabi splitting in free
space. In contrast to optical cavities, the atoms couple to a continuum of modes, and the …
