Abstract:
The process of scattering of intense coherent electromagnetic radiation by an ensemble of hydrogen-like atoms is considered theoretically. It is supposed that in this ensemble the standing sound wave is excited, and the external radiation is resonant to the transition between the two lower energy levels of these atoms. The oscillations of atoms about the equilibrium state are taken into account by the drift operator in the Hamiltonian of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation written for one of the atoms. It is obtained, that the scattered radiation should include combinations of frequencies of the incident radiation and the sound wave.
