Detection of Three-Photon Relaxation of an Atom near a Phase Conjugator through Absorption Measurements

Abstract

Spontaneous excitation of an atom near a phase conjugator should be amenable to experimental verification through a measurement of the atomic probe absorption profile. It is shown that the absorption decreases quickly with increasing reflectivity, due to a population of the excited state. The responsible physical process is a three-photon event. (jhd)
