Cooperative Decay of <i>N</i> Atoms in a Ring Configuration

We provide an analytic expression of the spectrum of the cooperative decay rate of <i>N</i> two-level atoms regularly distributed on a ring in the single-excitation configuration. The results are obtained first for the scalar model and then extended to the vectorial light model, assuming...

description We provide an analytic expression of the spectrum of the cooperative decay rate of <i>N</i> two-level atoms regularly distributed on a ring in the single-excitation configuration. The results are obtained first for the scalar model and then extended to the vectorial light model, assuming all the dipoles are aligned.
