Symmetry of the light force acting on atom — •Aleksej Taichenachev, Anatoly Tumaikin, and Valerii Yudin — Novosibirsk State University, Ul. Pirogova 2, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia

Symmetry of the light force acting on atom, A.V. Taichenachev, A.M.Tumaikin and V.I.Yudin

Symmetry relations for the light force are systematically derived, starting from the generalized optical Bloch equations for the atomic density matrix. For laser field configurations formed by elliptically polarized waves these relations have an unusual form, leading to the principal possibility of new kinetic effects.
