Double optical resonance in hydrogenlike atoms

V. A. Kovarskii, N. F. Perel'man, S. S. Todirashku


Abstract: An analysis is made of the scattering and absorption of light by a hydrogenlike atom in the field of an electromagnetic wave which mixes resonantly an excited level (n = 2) with its neighbor (n = 3). The scattering and absorption cross sections are calculated as a function of the frequency of the wave and of the intensity of the electromagnetic field. The influence of low-frequency nonresonance field on the scattering and absorption of light by an atom in the ground state is considered. It is shown that the scattering (absorption and luminescence) spectra of a hydrogenlike atom may be frequency modulated by a low-frequency amplitude modulated field.
