Abstract

A model of superradiant scattering of light from a Bose- Einstein condensate based on a semi-classical approach is proposed. Choosing coherent states with definite momentum as a basis of atomic states we derive a Maxwell-Bloch equations for the system considered and obtain their solutions that describe the temporal evolution of intensity of scattering light and population of the coherent atomic states.

A theory of the superradiant Rayleigh scattering by a Bose-Einstein condensate is suggested. The theory is based on a semiclassical approach. Atomic states with definite momenta are used as basis functions. The Maxwell-Bloch equations are derived and solved to describe the intensity of scattered radiation and the evolution of the population of coherent atomic states.

Semiclassical theory of superradiant scattering from a Bose-Einstein condensate

Evgenii Dmitrievich Trifonov

A semiclassical theory of superradiant scattering of light from a Bose-Einstein condensate of a dilute atomic gas is proposed. Choosing atomic states with definite values of the momenta as a basis, we derive a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Its solutions describe the evolution of the scattered light intensity and of the populations of the coherent atomic states with different recoil momenta.

A semiclassical theory of superradiant scattering and propagating of light in a Bose-Einstein condensate of dilute atomic vapours is proposed. Choosing atomic states with definite momentum as a basis we derive a nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The solutions of the equation describe the temporal evolution of light intensity and of the populations of the coherent atomic states with different recoil moments.

A semiclassical theory of superradiant scattering from Bose-Einstein condensate of dilute gas without the mean- field approximation is proposed. Solutions of the system of Maxwell-Schrödinger equations describing this effect as well as the coherent reflection of light and the backward amplification of matter waves are obtained.
