More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Surface-dressed optical Bloch equations are derived for the purpose of evaluating the resonance fluorescence spectrum of two interacting identical atoms near or adsorbed on a metal surface. The derivation takes into account the influence of reflected photons, dephasing due to atomic collisions, the linewidth of the driving laser field and the resonance excitation of surface plasmons. A unique behavior of the surface-modified fluorescence, not seen in analogous gas cell experiments, is predicted. Under the appropriate circumstance, a photon emitted from one of the two atoms can be trapped by the two-adatom-surface system, and this is studied by means of a theory which treats the atoms and their surface images on the same footing.
