Spurious velocity dependence of free-space spontaneous emission

Martin Wilkens

It is shown that the standard calculation of the free-space spontaneous-emission rate leads to a spurious velocity dependence if the atomic motion is included nonrelativistically. The unphysical terms are of first order in v/c, akin to the nonrelativistic Doppler shift.

Laser-induced velocity-dependent light shifts have been used to compensate the Doppler broadening of an atomic transition. The unidirectional feature of this technique allowed us to observe a forward/backward asymmetry in the amplified spontaneous emission from an excited sodium vapor, switched on by a pulse of laser light.
