We calculate the modulation of the reflection coefficient for a frequency-modulated (FM) light beam incident on the interface between a dielectric and an atomic

AbstractIntroduction Silicone gel breast implants are used for breast reconstruction post mastectomy. In the event of cancer recurrence, the radiation oncologists are forced to irradiate through the prosthesis device. Due to prosthesis higher atomic number dose perturbations occur during treatment. This study determined the influence of silicone gel thickness on the photon beam distribution. Ma...

The accurate resonance frequency of the transition (F, M ) = (4, 0) ++(3 , 0) in the ground state of cesium-l33 is expressed In the form of an operational equation f o r an atomic beam spectrometer. Emphasized are the terms in this equation which correct for the beam direction dependence and radiation field dependence of measured resonance frequencies: F where i and j refer to opposite beam dir...

Electrostatic storage rings operate at very low energies in the tens of keV range and have proven to be invaluable tools for atomic and molecular physics experiments. However, earlier measurements showed strong limitations in beam intensity, a fast reduction in the stored ion current, as well as significantly reduced beam life time at higher beam intensities and as a function of the ion optical...

Depth sectioning in high angular annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy is considered a candidate for three-dimensional characterization on the atomic scale. However at present the depth resolution is still far from the atomic level, due to strong limitations in the opening angle of the beam. In this paper we introduce a new, parameter based tomographic reconstruction algo...

The interaction of copropagating electromagnetic and matter waves is described with a set of coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Optical self-focusing modulates an initially planar wave leading to the generation of dipole forces on the atoms. Atomic channeling due to the dipole forces leads, in the nonlinear regime, to filamentation of the atomic beam. Instability growth rates...

Atomic media inside an optical cavity can significantly alter the spectral response of the cavity. Both theoretical and experimental examinations are made of the cavity transmission with a highly dispersive intracavity multilevel atomic medium. It is found, owing to the reduced absorption and steep dispersion change accompanying electromagnetically induced transparency in such a multi-level ato...

Present schemes involving the quantum non-demolition interaction between atomic samples and off-resonant light pulses allow us to store quantum information corresponding to a single harmonic oscillator (mode) in one multi-atomic system. We discuss the possibility of involving several coherences of each atom so that the atomic sample can store information contained in several quantum modes. This...
