Rayleigh Scattering and Atomic Dynamics in Dissipative Optical Lattices
Rayleigh Scattering and Atomic Dynamics in Dissipative Optical Lattices
We investigate Rayleigh scattering in dissipative optical lattices. In particular, following recent proposals [S. Guibal et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4709 (1997); C. Jurczak et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 1727 (1996)], we study whether the Rayleigh resonance originates from the diffraction on a density grating and is therefore …
