Coherent effects manifested in light scattering from cold, optically dense and disordered
atomic systems are reviewed from a primarily theoretical point of view. Development of the …

We present an overview of the investigations on the transport of near-resonant light in laser-
cooled atomic vapors, a field that emerged during the past decade. We first discuss time …

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of near-resonance light
scattering from a high-density and ultracold atomic 87 Rb gas. The atomic sample, having a …

Coherent backscattering of light is observed when electromagnetic waves undergo multiple
scattering within a disordered optical medium. So far, coherent backscattering of light has …

We present a diagrammatic theory for coherent backscattering from disordered dilute media
in the nonlinear regime. We show that the coherent backscattering enhancement factor is …

We outline the nonperturbative theory of multiple scattering of resonant, intense laser light
off a dilute cloud of cold atoms. A combination of master equation and diagrammatic …

High-density and ultracold atomic gases have emerged as promising media for storage of
individual photons for quantum memory applications. In this paper we provide an overview …

In this theoretical paper, we investigate coherence properties of the near-resonant light
scattered by two atoms exposed to a strong monochromatic field. To properly incorporate …

We study coherent backscattering of a monochromatic laser by a dilute gas of cold two-level
atoms in the weakly nonlinear regime. The nonlinear response of the atoms results in a …

Coherent backscattering is a coherence effect in the propagation of waves through
disordered media involving two or more scattering events. Here we report on the …
