Abstract:We explore the dynamic behavior of a monovelocity atomic beam. The equations describing the monovelocity atomic beam are similar to the Maxwell-Bloch equations. The steady-state, linear stability analysis, and dynamics verify that hysteresis, bistability, and even multistability of the output intensity exist in this system. Comparison of the loss–gain bifurcation curve of this system to the original maser model shows that the instability asymptote for the monovelocity atomic beam is κ = 0 where κ represents th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
