US-Polish Cooperative Research on Photophysics of Atoms and Electrons

美国和波兰“原子和电子的光物理学”合作联合研究是INT 89-05178的更新，由罗彻斯特大学的J.H. Eberly博士和物理研究所的I. Bialynicki-Birula博士领导的美国和波兰研究小组进行。波兰科学院。研究人员正在研究辐射场中电子、原子和分子的特性。在过去的一年里，他们进行了相干光脉冲传播、协同发射和超辐射、x射线轫致辐射和内壳电离过程、激光波动和噪声对光吸收和发射的影响、在腔QED和辐射场的相表示的背景下原子场相互作用的理论。他们还从事双原子分子的短脉冲研究，受激拉曼散射中的量子波动，和原子和分子电离的超强电磁辐射（光学和微波）。该理论物理研究通过使美国和波兰的领先专家能够在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的人才和汇集研究资源，实现了推进科学的计划目标。

This U.S.-Poland Cooperative Joint Research on "Photophysics of Atoms and Electrons" is a renewal of INT 89-05178, between groups of American and Polish researchers headed by Dr. J.H. Eberly, University of Rochester, amd Dr. I. Bialynicki-Birula, Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences. The researchers are investigating the properties of electrons, atoms, and molecules in radiation fields. Over the past year, they have performed theoretical studies of coherent optical pulse propagation, cooperative emission and superradiance, X-ray bremstrahlung and inner shell ionization processes, the effects of laser fluctuations and noise on photo-absorption and emission, the theory of atom-field interactions in the context of cavity QED and phase representations for radiation fields. They have also worked on short-pulse studies of diatomic molecules, quantum fluctuations in stimulated Raman scattering, and ionization of atoms and molecules by ultra-strong electromagnetic radiation (optical and microwave). This research in theoretical physics fulfills the program objectives of advancing science by enabling leading experts in the U.S. and Poland to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
