Abstract: K1.00117 : Influence of Non-Linear Interactions on the Propagation of Electromagnetic Fields in Moving Many-Electron Atomic Systems
Author:
Reduced-density-matrix descriptions are developed for the
propagation of
electromagnetic fields in moving many-electron atomic systems,
taking into account
the center-of-mass motions, atomic collision processes, and
applied magnetic fields.
The time-domain (equation-of-motion) and the frequency-domain
(resolvent-
operator) formulations are developed in a unified manner. A
semiclassical perturbative
treatment of the electromagnetic interaction is employed to
derive compact Liouville-
space operator expressions for the general n'th-order non-linear
macroscopic
electromagnetic-response tensors. Coherent atomic excitations and
the full tetradic-
matrix form of the collision-radiative self-energy operator in
the Markov
approximation are taken into account.
