Scattering of polarized laser light by an atomic gas in free space: a QSDE approach
arXiv:quant-ph/0701224 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.75.052111
Abstract
We propose a model, based on a quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE), to describe the scattering of polarized laser light by an atomic gas. The gauge terms in the QSDE account for the direct scattering of the laser light into different field channels. Once the model has been set, we can rigorously derive quantum filtering equations for balanced polarimetry and homodyne detection experiments, study the statistics of output processes and investigate a strong driving, weak coupling limit.
