Abstract
Our work is based on the collision-induced coherence of two decay channels along two optical transitions. The quantum interference of pumping processes creates the dark state and the more atoms are pumped in this collision-induced dark state, the stronger the suppression of the spontaneous emission. The efficiency of this suppression is quantified by putting it in comparison with the spontaneous emission on the ultraviolet transition, which proceeds in a regular fashion. The branching ratio of these two (visible and ultraviolet) transitions is introduced as the effective measure of the degree of the suppression of the spontaneous emission on the visible transition. Our preliminary calculations show that a significant decrease of the branching ratio with an increase of electron densities is reproduced in the theory.
