We study the superradiance dynamics in a dense system of atoms each of which can be generally a spin-j particle, with j an arbitrary half-integer. We generalize Dicke's superradiance point of view to multiple-level systems and compare the results based on a novel approach we developed previously [Lin and Yelin, Adv. Atom. Mol. Opt. Phys. 61, in press (2012)]. Using this formalism we derive an effective two-body description that shows cooperative and collective effects for spin-j particles, taking into account the coherence of transitions between different atomic levels. We find that superradiance, which is well known as a many-body phenomenon, can also be modified by multiple-level effects. We also discuss the feasibility and propose that our approach can be applied to polar molecules, for their vibrational states have a multilevel structure which is partially harmonic.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
