The Classical and Quantum Regimes of Superradiant Light Scattering from a Bose-Einstein Condensate / G.R.M. Robb, N. Piovella, R. Bonifacio. - In: JOURNAL OF OPTICS. - ISSN 1464-4266. - 7:4(2005), pp. 93-98.
Abstract:
We show that many features of the recent experiments of Schneble et al (2003 Science 300 475), which demonstrate two different regimes of light scattering by a Bose–Einstein condensate, can be described using a one-dimensional mean-field quantum CARL model, where optical amplification occurs simultaneously with the production of a periodic density modulation in the atomic medium. The two regimes of light scattering observed in these experiments, originally described as 'Kapiza–Dirac scattering' and 'super-radiant Rayleigh scattering', can be interpreted as the semiclassical and quantum limits respectively of CARL lasing.
