Light propagation in a periodic ensemble of ultracold atoms

Mauro Antezza

We address the general problem of the excitation spectrum for light coupled to scatterers havingquantum fluctuating positions around the sites of a periodic lattice. In addition to providing an imaginarypart to the spectrum, we show that these quantum fluctuations affect the real part of the spectrum, in a waythat we determine analytically. Our predictions may be observed with ultracold atoms in an optical lattice,on a J 1⁄4 0 ! J0 1⁄4 1 narrow atomic transition. As a side result, we resolve a controversy for theoccurrence of a spectral gap in a fcc lattice.

Light scattering from a randomly occupied optical lattice. II. The multiple scattering problem

Wei Guo, Sudhakar Prasad

In this paper, we study the problem of multiple scattering of light from a randomly occupied optical lattice, thereby extending the first-order Born analysis of the previous paper. A full multiple-scattering analysis is essential to a complete understanding of the nature of light propagation inside a medium. Our calculations show that the incident wave, when resonant with the atomic medium, is rapidly extinguished due to multiple scattering. The decay constant depends critically on the incident wavelength, the lattice constant, the average number density of atoms, and their polarizability. Both the Bragg scattering amplitudes and directions are modified as a result of multiple scattering. Because of the random site occupation of an otherwise regular lattice structure, a coherent enhancement of the scattering cross section is also predicted to occur along a discrete set of directions that are related to the strictly backward direction by reciprocal lattice vectors.

Intrinsic spontaneous emission-induced fluctuations of the output optical beam power and phase in a diode amplifier

Alexander P. Bogatov, Alexander E. Drakin, N V D'yachkov +1 more

Output optical beam intensity and phase fluctuations are analysed in a classical approach to describing the propagation and amplification of spontaneous emission in the active region of a laser diode with a gain saturated by input monochromatic light. We find their spectral densities and dispersion and the correlation coefficient of the two-dimensional probability distribution function of the fluctuations.
