Abstract
Experiments are described in which atoms are placed in a concentric optical resonator and probed by cw dye laser radiation. It is found that, depending on the tuning of the resonator, the radiative linewidth of the atomic transition may either increase or decrease and the observed resonance frequency may shift, relative to their respective free space values. A simple classical interpretation of these effects is given. We also present results of a semi-classical calculation which show that under appropriate conditions, stimulated emission may play a significant role in such experiments.
