Coherent Inelastic Backscattering of Intense Laser Light by Cold Atoms
Vyacheslav Shatokhin, Cord Axel Müller, Andreas Buchleitner
We present a nonperturbative treatment of coherent backscattering of intense laser light from cold atoms and predict a nonvanishing backscattering signal even at very large intensities, due to the constructive (self-)interference of inelastically scattered photons.
