FREE ATOM IN STRONG AMPLITUDE-MODULATED LIGHT
Anatoly I. Burshtein, Andrey Sivachenko
The population and phase relaxation in TLS induced by resonant radiation with stochastic amplitude was studied within the framework of sudden modulation theory. Kinetics and stationary light absorption as well as resonance fluorescence were calculated for light with complex and real amplitude. Although the latter is a very popular model of the former, it was shown to be inappropriate at strong interaction. The real (Rayleigh) light has complex amplitude random in magnitude and phase and changing in time as a Markovian chain, correlated or non-correlated. With respect to atom response to light of medium power, the analytically studied non-correlated field was shown to be similar to strongly correlated, “stochastic” field opened to only numerical inspection.
