Shifts of a resonance line in a dense atomic sample

Abstract

We study the collective response of a dense atomic sample to light essentially exactly using classical-electrodynamics simulations. In a homogeneously broadened atomic sample there is no overt Lorentz-Lorenz local field shift of the resonance, nor a collective Lamb shift. However, addition of inhomogeneous broadening restores the usual mean-field phenomenology.
