The interaction of strong laser light with alkali-metal atoms

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik D Atoms, Molecules and Clusters

Abstract

The quantum interference effect for the Rayleigh component of near resonant light scattered on an alkali-metal atom is numerically investigated. In the limit of strong fields this phenomenon disappears. Power-inducedLS decoupling and the asymmetry of the resonance fluorescence spectrum in the presence of a third level are discussed.
