Coherent inelastic backscattering of intense laser light by cold atoms — •Vyacheslav Shatokhin1,2, Cord Axel Müller3, and Andreas Buchleitner2 — 1B. I. Stepanov Institute of Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Skaryna Ave. 70, BY-220072 Minsk — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Physik komplexer Systeme, Nöthnitzer Str. 38, D-01187 Dresden — 3Physikalisches Institut, Universität Bayreuth, D-95440 Bayreuth
We present a nonperturbative treatment of coherent backscattering of intense laser light from cold atoms, and predict a nonvanishing backscattering signal even at very large intensities, due to the constructive (self-) interference of inelastically scattered photons.
