Microscopic theory of photonic band gaps in optical lattices / M. Samoylova, N. Piovella, R. Bachelard, P. Courteille. - In: OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS. - ISSN 0030-4018. - 312(2014 Feb 01), pp. 94-98. [10.1016/j.optcom.2013.09.016]
Abstract:
We propose a microscopic model to describe the scattering of light by atoms in optical lattices. The
model is shown to efficiently capture Bragg scattering, spontaneous emission and photonic bandgaps. A connection to the transfer matrix formalism is established in the limit of a one-dimensional optical lattice, and we find the two theories to yield results in good agreement. The advantage of the microscopic model is, however, that it suits better for studies of finite-size and disorder effects.
