Incoherent scattering of light by a Bose--Einstein condensate of interacting atoms

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate that incoherent photon scattering by a Bose-Einstein condensate of non-ideal atomic gas is enhanced due to bosonic stimulation of spontaneous emission, similarly to coherent scattering in forward direction. Necessary initial population of non-condensate states is provided by quantum depletion of a condensate caused by interatomic repulsion.
