Coherence effects in scattering order expansion of light by atomic clouds / M. Taha Rouabah, M. Samoylova, R. Bachelard, P.W. Courteille, R. Kaiser, N. Piovella. - In: JOURNAL OF THE OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA. A, OPTICS, IMAGE SCIENCE, AND VISION. - ISSN 1084-7529. - 31:5(2014 May), pp. 1031-1039.
Abstract:
We interpret cooperative scattering by a collection of cold atoms as a multiple-scattering process. Starting from
microscopic equations describing the response of N atoms to a probe light beam, we represent the total scattered
field as an infinite series of multiple-scattering events. As an application of the method, we obtain analytical
expressions of the coherent intensity in the double-scattering approximation for Gaussian density profiles. In
particular, we quantify the contributions of coherent backward and forward scattering.
