De Broglie waves, the Schrödinger equation, and relativity. I. Exclusion of the rest mass energy in the dispersion relation

Masanori Sato

The difference between de Broglie waves and the Schrödinger equation is the rest mass. The dispersion relation of de Broglie waves includes the rest mass, but the Schrödinger equation does not. Synchrotron radiation is when de Broglie waves shake off virtual photons and emit real photons. It also shows that synchrotron radiation is not compatible with relativity.

Velocity redistribution of excited atoms by radiative excitation transfer. II. Theory of radiation trapping in collimated beams

Nikolai N. Bezuglov, Aigars Ekers, O. Kaufmann +3 more

We have developed a theory of resonance radiation imprisonment in collimated atomic beams. Treating the integral master equation describing imprisonment as a generalized wave (Schrödinger) equation and using the geometrical quantization technique for its solution, we obtained analytical representations for the effective radiative lifetime, mean scattering number, and trapping factors. We apply this theory to explain the recent observation of a dramatic velocity redistribution of excited atoms by radiative excitation transfer after the photofragmentation of Na2. In this process, the fast Na(3p) photofragments transfer their excitation energy efficiently via radiation to the abundant Na(3s) atoms from the primary particle beam. The influence of the hyperfine splitting of the ground state of Na atoms on this process is discussed. The ratio of the number of Na(3p) atoms produced by the radiative excitation transfer to the number of Na(3p) photofragments was found to be 0.13 and 0.19 for photodissociation of Na2 molecules in the vibrational levels v″=17 and v″=23, respectively. This is in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values of 0.16 and 0.22.

Transfer and Trapping of Resonance Radiation in a Two-Level System

V. M. Yamshchikov, V. G. Rogachev, É. A. Kudryashov +1 more

Abstract The population kinetics of a two-level system has been theoretically investigated taking into account the transfer of spontaneous radiation under continuous optical pumping. It is shown that, when the photon mean free path in a resonantly absorbing medium is smaller than the characteristic size of this medium or comparable to it, the spontaneous radiation may become an additional pump source. The contribution of spontaneous photons to the kinetics of level has been considered within two approaches. The first approach consists of solution of the radiation transfer equation within the diffusion approximation. The second approach is related to solution of the Biberman–Holstein equation.
