Light Scattering from an Atom Near the Surface of a Superlattice

Abstract

A semiclassical theory is developed to treat the interaction of radiation with an atom located near the surface of an m-component superlattice. For the special case of m = 2, the radiation penetration depth into the superlattice and the resonance fluorescence spectrum are calculated numerically for superlattices of metal-insulator construction. The results show sensitive dependence on the plasma frequency in the metal layer as well as on the dielectric function and width of the insulator layer. Keywords: Atom; Superlattice; Metal insulator; Light scattering; Resonance fluorescence; Semiclassical theory.
