摘要: We evaluate the effective number of atoms in experiments where a probe laser beam with Gaussian transverse profile passes through an atomic medium consisting cold atom cloud released from magneto-optical trap. Considering case initial distribution is function position and velocity, we give quantitative description time variation while exploding falling. discuss two cases defined linear nonlinear phase shifts, respectively. also fluctuations by calculating their correlation functions associated noise spectra. Finally, estimate effect these on cavity containing cloud.
