The effect of collisions on the coherent scattering from strongly driven two level atoms
Keyword(s):
The existence of a coherent mode in phase with the near resonant driving field is reconsidered using the resolvent operator technique in Liouville space. A result, previously obtained from Green function technique, is rederived. It is shown that such a mode does not exist in the general case of collisional relaxation in a gas. As a result, the coherent scattering component acquires a nonzero width in the strong field region. This width depends on some non-Markovian collision parameters.
