- W3150593229 abstract "We study the deflection of an atomic system with a resonant multilevel energy structure in classical and quantized wave light fields. We obtain that the shape of the momentum distribution is very sensitive to the energy level structure, whereas its moments are not. Comparison with a two-level case is made. PACS: 32.80, 33.80, 42.50 During the last two decades a remarkable development in mechanically manipulating atomary particles with resonant laser light has taken place (for a review, see for example [1, 2] and references therein). In addition to trapping and cooling of particles, the deflection of particles by a laser beam offers interesting possibilities, for example, to construct atomic interferometers or beam splitters [2-4]. This problem has been studied extensively both theoretically [2, 5, 8] and experimentally [9-12]. The fact that the momentum distribution caused by the scattering is connected to the quantum statistical properties of the scattered light has been known for some time [13]. Recently, one has also realized that the quantum statistics of the light causing the scattering can be important [14]. At low photon numbers, for example, the initial field state strongly influences the resulting momentum distribution. A related effect is that a standing wave and two counterpropagating traveling plane waves of equal emplitudes cause a different diffraction pattern when fields are treated quantum mechanically [15]. Most previous work on the deflection of particles by light fields used two-level atoms. In this paper we study how resonant multilevel systems scatter when they traverse a plane wave. In practical applications, molecules or highly excited atoms have similar energy structures as the models we use in this work. In most cases, we assume that the Raman-Nath regime is valid, i.e., the kinetic energy of the particle can be neglected. However, the field coupling is assumed to be sufficiently strong to make multiple scattering events possible. Our results show that the final momentum distribution of a multi-level system can strongly deviate from that of a two-level atom. It is of interest that the momentum distributions for resonant ladder systems are in general superpositions of few or several distributions similar to that of a two-level system. We also study the expectation values related to the momentum distribution and show that the spread in momentum is remarkably independent of the system considered. The absorption and reabsorption of photons during the scattering process causes the photon distribution to be smoothed out, and for long times a steady state is reached. The cases we studied did not show a creation of sub-Poissonian light. Our model and assumptions are described and discussed in Sect. 1. Some of the general properties of the momentum distribution are discussed in Sect. 2. In Sect. 3 we derive the generating function of the moments of momentum change in Raman-Nath regime. The main part of the paper is contained in Sects. 4 and 5, in which the momentum distribution itself is discussed for several model systems. In Sect. 4 a semiclassical field is assumed and in Sect. 5 a quantum field is used. The effects of the scattering on the field photon statistics are studied in Sect. 6. The final discussion of the results is given in Sect. 7." @default.
