Ionization of atoms and molecules in laser fields can lead to various interesting interference structures in the photoelectron spectrum. For the case of a super-intense extreme ultraviolet laser pulse, we identify a novel petal-like…
We propose a model, based on a quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE), to describe the scattering of polarized laser light by an atomic gas. The gauge terms in the QSDE account for the direct scattering of the laser light into…
An atom laser is a hypothetical device which would produce an atomic field analogous to the electromagnetic field of a photon laser. Here I argue that for this analogy to be meaningful it is necessary to have a precise definition of a laser…
The atomic lensing model has been proposed as a promising method facilitating atom-counting in heterogeneous nanocrystals [KHW van den Bos et. al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 (2016) 246101] Here, image simulations will validate the model, which…
With ready access to massive computer clusters we may now study light propagation in a dense cold atomic gas by means of basically exact numerical simulations. We report on a direct comparison between traditional optics, that is,…
A typical application for laser interferometers is a precision measurement of length changes that result in interferometric phase shifts. Such phase changes are typically predicted numerically, due to the com- plexity of the overlap…
A light ray in space is characterized by two vectors: (i) a transverse spatial-vector associated with the point where the ray intersects a given spherical cap; (ii) an angular-frequency vector which defines the ray direction of propagation.…
By means of quantum-dynamical and classical trajectory calculations of H2+ photodissociation in strong laser fields, it is shown that for certain combinations of pulse durations and intensities the rotational dynamics can lead to…
We study the angular deflection of the circular polarized components of a linearly polarized probe field in a weakly birefringent atomic system in tripod configuration. A spatially inhomogeneous control field incident obliquely onto an…
We study the photonic interactions between two distant atoms which are coupled by an optical element (a lens or an optical fiber) focussing part of their emitted radiation onto each other. Two regimes are distinguished depending on the…
We present a model of a cw atom laser based on a system of coupled GP equations. The model incorporates continuous Raman outcoupling, pumping and three-body recombination. The outcoupled field has minimal atomic density fluctuations and is…
We present a detailed analytical and numerical analysis of the inelastic coherent backscattering spectrum of laser light incident on cold atoms. We identify frequency domains where the interference contribution can be positive \emph{as well…
We consider dissipative dynamics of atoms in a strong standing laser wave and find a nonlinear dynamical effect of synchronization between center-of-mass motion and internal Rabi oscillations. The synchronization manifests itself in the…
We present results of first-principles calculations of the frequency-dependent polarizabilities of all alkali atoms for light in the wavelength range 300-1600 nm, with particular attention to wavelengths of common infrared lasers. We…
We analyze the laser cooling of polarizable particles by continuous dispersive position detection and active feedback. The magnitude of the dissipative force is proportional to the particles' photon scattering rate into the detector, while…
We present an experimental study of the spectra produced by optical/radio-frequency double resonance in which resonant linearly polarized laser light is used in the optical pumping and detection processes. We show that the experimental…
The total photodetachment cross section of a linear triatomic anion is derived for arbitrary laser polarization direction. The cross section is shown to be strongly oscillatory when the laser polarization direction is parallel to the axis…
Atomic detection by fluorescence may fail because of reflection from the laser or transmission without excitation. The detection probability for a given velocity range may be improved by controlling the detuning and the spatial dependence…
We present a model for a continuous atom laser in a one-dimensional waveguide. The beam is formed by continuous Raman outcoupling of a trapped one-dimensional (quasi-)condensate, which is created by imposing a tightly confining transverse…
We report on the measurement of the temporal coherence of an atom laser beam extracted from a $^{87}$Rb Bose-Einstein condensate. Reflecting the beam from a potential barrier creates a standing matter wave structure. From the contrast of…
