Lamb shift in atoms interacting with a strong laser field

Abstract

Radiative corrections to the energy levels of an atom interacting with a strong laser field have been investigated. A formula for the Lamb shift of the laser-dressed states is derived, which makes it possible to calculate this shift with an error up to α 2 .

Lamb Shift of Laser-Dressed Atomic States

Ulrich D. Jentschura, Jörg Evers, Martin Haas +1 more

We discuss radiative corrections to an atomic two-level system subject to an intense driving laser field. It is shown that the Lamb shift of the laser-dressed states, which are the natural state basis of the combined atom-laser system, cannot be explained in terms of the Lamb shift received by the atomic bare states which is usually observed in spectroscopic experiments. In the final part, we propose an experimental scheme to measure these corrections based on the incoherent resonance fluorescence spectrum of the driven atom.

Laser-induced dynamic radiative corrections in the dressed-state and in the Floquet picture

Gagik Yu. Kryuchkyan, Ulrich D. Jentschura, Jörg Evers +1 more

We investigate QED field-dependent effects in radiative shifts of atomic levels driven by a strong laser field. Our focus is on indirect laser-induced corrections to the Lamb shift of an atomic reference state due to a strong laser field which near-resonantly couples two other states, but not the reference state. Our aim is to show how to generalize previous treatments of related scenarios to the case of an induced indirect coupling. We also derive an expression of self-energy corrections in the Floquet picture and analyse various coupling schemes with respect to the shift of Floquet quasi-energies. The semi-classical Floquet picture and the fully quantized dressed-state approach are contrasted.

Control of the Lamb shift by a driving field

Shuai Yang, Hang Zheng, R. Hong +2 more

A unitary transformation approach is used to study the energy level shift of the atom coupled to both a vacuum electromagnetic field and a driving laser. The Lamb shift of the energy levels is shown to depend on the Rabi frequency and the detuning of the driving laser, which couples another pair of levels.

Atomic-level shifts in a squeezed vacuum

Gerard J Milburn

The energy-level shifts for a multilevel atom interacting with a squeezed vacuum are calculated. The level shifts are made up of two contributions: (i) the ordinary Lamb shift and (ii) a shift due to the squeezed-vacuum intensity spectrum (similar to the blackbody-radiation shifts).

Interaction of an atom subject to an intense laser field with its own radiation field and nonlocality of electromagnetic interaction

R. Kh. Gainutdinov, Aigul A. Mutygullina

We discuss the interaction of an atom subject to an intense driving laser field with its own radiation field. In contrast to the states of bare atoms, the energy difference between some dressed states with the same total angular momentum, its projection and parity may be very small. The self-interaction of a combined atom–laser system associated with nonradiative transitions between such states is effectively strong. We show that the contribution to the radiative shift of the sidebands of the Mollow spectrum, which comes from such processes, is very significant and may be much larger than the trivial Lamb shift, which is the simple redistribution of the Lamb shifts of the corresponding bare states. In the final part, we discuss the possibility that in the Mollow spectrum nonlocality of electromagnetic interaction, which in other cases is hidden in the regularization and renormalization procedures, can manifest itself explicitly.

Quantum-electrodynamic effects for atoms in a laser field

Gagik Yu. Kryuchkyan

Quantum-electrodynamic radiation corrections to atomic energy levels in the presence of monochromatic laser field are considered as radiation shifts of quasienergies. General expressions are obtained for self-energy part of radiation shifts for an arbitrary multilevel atomic system. As an appendix, the radiation shifts of spectral lines of atomic resonance transitions are investigated.
