Semianalytical model for nonlinear absorption in strongly interacting Rydberg gases
Rate equation models are extensively used to describe the many-body states of laser driven atomic gases. We show that the properties of the rate equation model used to describe nonlinear optical effects arising in interacting Rydberg gases can be understood by considering the excitation of individual superatoms. From this we …
