THEORETICAL BASIS FOR A NEW SUBNATURAL SPECTROSCOPY VIA CORRELATION INTERFEROMETRY Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A new line-narrowing effect in coincidence interferometry yielding subnatural resolution of atomic transition frequencies is proposed and analyzed. The approach utilizes second-order photon correlation properties of the radiation field. This is in contrast to the first-order measurements associated with time delay spectroscopy, which is known to yield subnatural resolution. Connections between the two techniques are investigated. 1995 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
