Collective lamb shift in single photon Dicke superradiance. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The collective Lamb shift and associated radiative decay of a large cloud of radius R containing N atoms uniformly excited by one photon of wavelength lambda is analyzed. It is shown that the time evolution of the symmetric state prepared by single photon absorption in the limit R>>lambda is similar to that encountered in the Dicke limit of small sample (R<
