Random Scattering by Atomic Density Fluctuations in Optical Lattices

Atomic Physics 2009-11-06 v2 Optics

Abstract

We investigate hitherto unexplored regimes of probe scattering by atoms trapped in optical lattices: weak scattering by effectively random atomic density distributions and multiple scattering by arbitrary atomic distributions. Both regimes are predicted to exhibit a universal semicircular scattering lineshape for large density fluctuations, which depend on temperature and quantum statistics.
