Nonlinear Spectroscopic Effects in Quantum Gases Induced by Atom-Atom Interactions

Abstract

We consider nonlinear spectroscopic effects - interaction-enhanced double resonance and spectrum instability - that appear in ultracold quantum gases owing to collisional frequency shift of atomic transitions and, consequently, due to the dependence of the frequencies on the population of various internal states of the particles. Special emphasis is put to two simplest cases, (a) the gas of two-level atoms and (b) double resonance in a gas of three-level bosons, in which the probe transition frequency remains constant.
