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 …

In this review we discuss localization of waves by multiple scattering. In the weak case, also
known as coherent backscattering, there is a twofold enhancement of the reflected intensity …

On the basis of a quantum microscopic approach we study the dynamics of the afterglow of a
dilute Gaussian atomic ensemble excited by pulsed radiation. Taking into account the vector …

Quantum theoretical treatment of coherent forward scattering of light in a polarized atomic
ensemble with an arbitrary angular momentum is developed. We consider coherent forward …

We use coherent backscattering of light by cold strontium atoms to study phase-breaking
mechanisms in the multiple-scattering regime. As the probe light intensity is increased, the …

When a quasiresonant laser beam illuminates an optically thick cloud of laser-cooled
rubidium atoms, the average diffuse intensity reflected off the sample is enhanced in a …

We investigate some signatures of multiple scattering of light in a vapor of laser-cooled
rubidium atoms. This sample presents several unusual properties when compared to …

We show that under conditions typical of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in
an ultracold atomic sample in a magneto-optical trap, a significant portion of the incident …

We experimentally study radiation trap** of near-resonant light in a cloud of laser-cooled
rubidium atoms. Unlike in most previous studies, dealing with hot vapors, collisional …

We report a combined theoretical and experimental study of the spectral and polarization
dependence of near-resonant radiation coherently backscattered from an ultracold gas of …
