Abstract
We study the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the condensate of a Bose gas. In an earlier paper we considered the problem for two simple models showing the cooperative effect between Bose–Einstein condensation and superradiance. In this paper we formalize the model suggested by Ketterle et al. in which the Bose condensate particles have a two level structure. We present a soluble microscopic Dicke type model describing a thermodynamically stable system. We find the equilibrium states of the system and compute the thermodynamic functions giving explicit formulæ expressing the cooperative effect between Bose–Einstein condensation and superradiance.
