Rotating-Wave Approximation and Spontaneous Emission Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Spontaneous emission from two systems, namely, N identical harmonic oscillators and N identical two-level atoms, is studied without the use of the rotating-wave approximation. Certain new features of spontaneous emission, for instance, the dependence of the radiation rate on the initial dipole moment phase, are discussed. 1971 The American Physical Society.
