Atomic absorptions of two coherent light beams

Поглощение атомом двух когерентных пучков света

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

Coherent light beams provide a new way to probe atomic absorption. Atomic absorption can be a coherent process, which depends on the relative amplitude, phase and intersection angle of coherent beams. A study of dependences leads to a mechanism for revealing the phase of the two-photon Doppler-free transition amplitude.

Riassunto

I fasci di luce coerenti forniscono un nuovo modo per indagare l'assorbimento atomico. L'assorbimento atomico può essere un processo coerente che dipende dall'ampiezza relativa, dalla fase e dall'angolo di intersezione dei fasci coerenti. Uno studio delle dipendenze porta a un meccanismo per rivelare la fase dell'ampiezza della transizione a due fotoni libera dall'effetto Doppler.

Резюме

Когерентные пучки света представляют новый метод исследования поглощения атомом. Поглощение атомом может представлять когерентный процесс, который зависит от относительнои амплитуды, фазы и угла пересечения когерентных пучков света. Исследование этих зависимостей приводит к механизму для обнаружения фазы двухфотонной амплитуды перехода.
