Optical absorption in a Bose gas
Abstract
Description
We here develop a theory on optical absorption in a dilute Bose gas at low temperatures. This theory is motivated by the Bogoliubov theory of elementary excitations for this system, and takes into account explicitly the modification of the nature and dispersion of elementary excitations due to Bose-Einstein condensation. Our results show important differences from existing theories.
