Response of two-level atoms to intense amplitude modulated laser beams

Creator:

Blind, Barbara

Abstract:

The optical Bloch equations for a two-level atom in a laser beam with an amplitude of arbitrary time dependence are derived in the rotating wave approximation. The light scattered by the atom is investigated for the special case of an intense, resonant laser beam with a sinusoidally modulated amplitude. The...
