• Title: Motional effects in dynamics of fluorescence of cold atomic ensembles excited by resonance pulse radiation
• Authors: A. S. Kuraptsev and I. M. Sokolov
• Abstract summary: We show that even for sub-Doppler temperatures, the motion of atoms can significantly affect the nature of both superradiation and subradiation. It is shown that the change in the lifetime of the given adiabatic term of the diatomic quasi-molecule induced by the change in the interatomic distance can lead not to the anticipated weakening of subradiation effect but to its enhancement.

• Abstract: We report the investigation of the influence of atomic motion on the fluorescence dynamics of dilute atomic ensemble driven by resonant pulse radiation. We show that even for sub-Doppler temperatures, the motion of atoms can significantly affect the nature of both superradiation and subradiation. We also demonstrate that, in the case of an ensemble of moving scatterers, it is possible to observe the nonmonotonic time dependence of the fluorescence rate. This leads to the fact that, in certain time intervals, increasing in temperature causes not an decrease but increase of the fluorescence intensity in the cone of coherent scattering. We have analyzed the role of the frequency diffusion of secondary radiation as a result of multiple light scattering in an optically dense medium. It is shown that spectrum broadening is the main factor which determines radiation trapping upon resonant excitation. At later time, after the trapping stage, the dynamics is dominated by close pairs of atoms (dimers). The dynamics of the excited states of these dimers has been studied in detail. It is shown that the change in the lifetime of the given adiabatic term of the diatomic quasi-molecule induced by the change in the interatomic distance as well as possible non-adiabatic transitions between sub- and superradiant states caused by atomic motion can lead not to the anticipated weakening of subradiation effect but to its enhancement.

We find that diverging from the well-established Dicke paradigm of equal all-to-all interactions significantly modifies the emission properties.

  We study the effects of strong inter-particle interaction on diffraction of a Bose-Einstein condensate of $6Li$ molecules created by pulses of a standing wave. For short pulses we observe the standard Kapitza-Dirac diffraction, with the contrast of the diffraction pattern strongly reduced for very large interactions. For longer pulses diffraction shows the characteristic for matter waves impinging on an array of tubes and coherent channeling transport.

• Subradiance in dilute atomic ensembles: Role of pairs and multiple scattering [0.0]
  We study the slow (subradiant) decay of the fluorescence of motionless atoms after a weak pulsed excitation. We show that, in the linear-optics regime, the slow decay rate can be dominated by close pairs of atoms forming superradiant and subradiant states. For a large-enough resonant optical depth and at later time, the dynamics is dominated by collective many-body effects.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

  All optical materials with a positive refractive index have a value of index that is of order unity.

We propose an explanation based upon strong-disorder renormalization group theory.
