Features of the Angular Distribution of Light Scattered by a Cold Atomic Ensemble Placed in a Static Electric Field

Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The angular distribution of light scattered by a cold atomic ensemble placed in an external electric field is investigated analytically. It is shown that the Stark splitting of atomic levels substantially modifies the character of multiple scattering and, in particular, the effect of coherent backscattering of light. The possibility of using the described approaches in the diagnostics of magnetic nanofluids and perfect optical crystals is discussed.
