光-原子相互作用系统中Abraham-Minkowski争论的解决与检验

Solution and testing of the Abraham-Minkowski controversy in light-atom interacting system

摘要:

本文讨论了光-物质波相互作用系统的Abraham-Minkowski争论的起源,它是已有百年历史的Abraham-Minkowski争论的一个特例。我们解决了激光与原子相互作用的争论,发现对于原子空间相干性较好的系统,原子和光的动量倾向于分别呈现Minkowski动量和正则动量;而对于原子空间非相干的系统,光和原子的动量倾向于呈现Abraham动量和动力学动量.利用三维光晶格和电磁诱导吸收(EIA)区分超冷原子的动力学反冲动量和正则反冲动量,我们的解的证明可以在现有的技术条件下实现。

英文摘要:

We present the origin of the Abraham-Minkowski controversy of light-matter wave interacting system, which is a special case of the centaury-old Abraham-Minkowski controversy. We solve the controversy of laser-atom interacting case and find that for systems with perfect atomic spatial coherence, the systems prefer to show Minkowski momentum and canonical momentum for the atoms and light, respectively; while for the systems where the atoms are spatially incoherent, the momenta of light and atoms would choose the Abraham and kinetic forms. The provement of our solution can be realized with current techniques, using three-dimensional optical lattices and electromagnetically-induced absorption (EIA) to distinguish the kinetic and canonical recoil momentum of ultra-cold atoms.
