General solution to the spherical Raman-Nath equation

C T Lee

The spherical Raman-Nath equation, a difference-differential equation describing stimulated Compton scattering, is transformed into a partial differential equation for the probability amplitude in spherical phase space by using the Q representation of the atomic coherent states. With the quantum electron recoil as the perturbation parameter, a perturbative solution up to indefinite high order is obtained. This is a general solution because the initial condition can be arbitrary.

A quantum method for analysing the free electron laser

Ya Cheng, Jianwen Chen

By means of a perturbation method, the photon statistics of the free electron laser starting with an arbitrary initial state can be calculated. And especially for an initial vacuum. We give the expression of photon statistics to first order in the recoil in this paper.

Solution to the spherical Raman-Nath equation

C T Lee

The spherical Raman-Nath equation, which describes the stimulated Compton scattering, is transformed into a Fokker-Planck type equation for 'diffusion' over the spherical surface. This is done by using the Q representation in the phase space of the atomic coherent states. With the quantum electron recoil as the perturbation parameter, a perturbative solution is obtained up to arbitrarily high order, hence approaching an exact solution.
