Abstract

A generalization of the semiclassical model of superradiant scattering of light from a Bose-Einstein condensate of dilute atomic gases is proposed. A number of effects connected with the backward recoil of atoms in this scattering are explained.

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 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.

Theory of light and atom scattering in the Bose-Einstein condensate of a dilute gas

Ya. A. Avetisyan, Evgenii Dmitrievich Trifonov

A semiclassical theory of superradiant light scattering from a Bose-Einstein condensate of a dilute gas is developed without recourse to the mean field approximation. The dynamics and spectrum of superradiant field, as well as the kinetics of formation of coherent atomic states with various translational momenta are calculated. The results are qualitatively consistent with experimental data for atoms scattered in the backward direction relative to that of the exciting laser beam propagation.
