Mean-Field Description of Cooperative Scattering by Atomic Clouds / N.U.C. Piovella. - In: ATOMS. - ISSN 2218-2004. - 11:7(2023 Jun 29), pp. 101.1-101.14. [10.3390/atoms11070101]
Abstract:
We present analytic expressions for the scattering of light by an extended atomic cloud. We obtain the solution for the mean-field excitation of different atomic spherical distributions driven by a uniform laser, including the initial build up, the steady state and the decay after the laser is switched off. We show that the mean-field model does not describe subradiant scattering due to the negative interference of the photons scattered by N discrete atoms.
