Manipulation of the spontaneous emission of atoms trapped in a harmonic trap

POSTER

Abstract

We consider an atom trapped in a harmonic trap. The evolution of excited atomic states is theoretically studied under adiabatic approximation. The emission spectra for trapped atoms are calculated. We have shown interference effects as well as trapping effect in a trap that has a size larger than the wavelength of radiation.
