It also discusses the broad background to cooperative behaviour in atomic ensembles, and analyses in detail effects in one- and two-dimensional atomic arrays. In general, when light interacts with matter it excites electric dipoles and since the nineteenth century it has been known that if the amplitude of these induced dipoles is sufficiently large, and their distance apart is on the scale of the wavelength of the light, then their mutual interaction significantly modifies the light?matter interaction. However, it was not known how to exploit this effect to modify the light?matter interaction in a desirable way, for example in order to enhance the optical cross-section. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aAtoms 606 $aPhysics 606 $aCrystallography 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aAtoms and Molecules in Strong Fields, Laser Matter Interaction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24025 606 $aCrystallography and Scattering Methods$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25056 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aAtoms. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aCrystallography. 615 14$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aAtoms and Molecules in Strong Fields, Laser Matter Interaction. 615 24$aCrystallography and Scattering Methods. 676 $a537.243 700 $aBettles$b Robert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0819525 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254576403321 996 $aCooperative Interactions in Lattices of Atomic Dipoles$91826373 997 $aUNINA
