摘要
We present a new approach to near-resonant coherent backscattering of light from cold two-level atoms. In the dilute regime, where the distance between atoms is much larger than the laser wavelength, this approach is able to account for multi-photon scattering processes between many atoms through solutions of single-atom optical Bloch equations. We elaborate the method for double scattering from two atoms, and discuss the way of its extension for dilute, cold atomic clouds. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
