Multiple-scattering approach to interatomic interactions and superradiance in inhomogeneous dielectrics

Multiple-scattering approach to interatomic interactions and superradiance in inhomogeneous dielectrics

The dynamics of a collection of resonant atoms embedded inside an inhomogeneous nondispersive and lossless dielectric is described with a dipole Hamiltonian that is based on a canonical quantization theory. The dielectric is described macroscopically by a position-dependent dielectric function and the atoms as microscopic harmonic oscillators. We identify and …
