Light interacting with atomic ensembles: collective, cooperative and mesoscopic effects
W Guerin, MT Rouabah, R Kaiser - Journal of Modern Optics, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
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 …
