Thermal effects in light scattering from ultracold bosons in an optical lattice
arXiv:0904.2927 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.80.043404
Abstract
We study the scattering of a weak and far-detuned light from a system of ultracold bosons in 1D and 3D optical lattices. We show the connection between angular distributions of the scattered light and statistical properties of a Bose gas in a periodic potential. The angular patterns are determined by the Fourier transform of the second-order correlation function, and thus they can be used to retrieve information on particle number fluctuations and correlations. We consider superfluid and Mott insulator phases of the Bose gas in a lattice, and we analyze in detail how the scattering depends on the system dimensionality, temperature and atom-atom interactions.
