Our approach provides an approximate description of a nonsimultaneous interaction of electromagnetic field with different parts of a wave packet.to be published in Int.J.Theor.Phys.; revtex, 3 ps figuresQuantum PhysicsSpatially sequential turn-on of spontaneous emission from an atomic wave packettext
