Momentum Transfer and Effect of Motion of Atomic Mass Centre on an Atom-Cavity System
Yi Xue-Xi, Sun Changpu
Abstract
For a special -type atom with dark state, the problem of momentum transfer is discussed in detail. Effect of moving mass centre on atomic dynamics for various initial conditions is also studied. The numerical results show that the Doppler effect exercised by the motion of atomic mass centre can lead to the modified phenomenon of oscillation collapse and revival in the transition probability and the atomic population inversion.
