Collective spontaneous emission and kinetic equations for one-photon light in random media

We consider the theory of spontaneous emission for a random medium of stationary two-level atoms. We investigate the dynamics of the field and atomic probability amplitudes for a one-photon state of the system. At long times and large distances, we show that the corresponding average probability den...

Description
Summary:We consider the theory of spontaneous emission for a random medium of stationary two-level atoms. We investigate the dynamics of the field and atomic probability amplitudes for a one-photon state of the system. At long times and large distances, we show that the corresponding average probability densities can be determined from the solutions to a pair of kinetic equations.
