Quantum Optics of Mössbauer Radiation

The increase in the brightness of modern synchrotron radiation sources and X-ray free-electron lasers have made it possible to observe nonlinear and quantum-optical phenomena for X rays. The peak intensity after focusing with application of bent crystals is as high as 10 20 W/cm 2 for modern sources...

Description
Summary:The increase in the brightness of modern synchrotron radiation sources and X-ray free-electron lasers have made it possible to observe nonlinear and quantum-optical phenomena for X rays. The peak intensity after focusing with application of bent crystals is as high as 10 20 W/cm 2 for modern sources and exceeds that characteristic of intraatomic fields. X-ray detectors with close-to-unity quantum efficiency and resolution in number of photons have become available. This provided prerequisites for studying fundamental concepts of quantum optics in the X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
