Atomic squeezing is studied for the case of large systems of radiating atoms, when collective effects are well developed. All temporal stages are analyzed, starting with the quantum stage of spontaneous emission, passing through the coherent stage of superradiant emission, and going to the relaxation stage ending with stationary solutions. A method of governing the temporal behaviour of the squ...

A simple multiwavelength emission instrument utilizing a commercial grating monochromator, a fiber optic sensor to collect radiation from an acetylene-air flame, and a CCD detector, has been evaluated for pedagogical value in the undergraduate curriculum. Simultaneous determination of Na, Li, K, Rb at ppb level, and Ca, Sr, Ba at ppm level was achieved. The instrument is affordable, yet suitabl...

the entanglement between a ?-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission fields is investigated. the effect of spontaneously generated coherence (sgc) on entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed. we find that in the presence of sgc the entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is completely phase dependent, while in absen...

abstract the spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. we use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. the transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the othe...

The entanglement between a ?-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission fields is investigated. The effect of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) on entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed. We find that in the presence of SGC the entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is completely phase dependent, while in absen...

We investigated the laser wavelength effect on angular atomic and ionic emission from laser-produced Sn plasma, since it is regarded as a viable candidate for an EUV lithography source. For producing plasmas, the fundamental, second and fourth harmonics radiation from a Nd : YAG laser were used. The angular variation of atomic and ionic particle analysis was carried out using quartz crystal mic...

High harmonic generation (HHG) in solids is investigated. We find that interband emission is dominant for the midinfrared laser driver frequencies, whereas intraband emission dominates the far-infrared range. Interband HHG is similar to atomic HHG and therewith opens the possibility to apply atomic attosecond technology to the condensed matter phase. Interband emission is investigated with a qu...
