Abstract:
In the general framework of open quantum systems, we assess the impact of the pulse area on single and double quantum coherence (1QC and 2QC) signals extracted from fluorescence emitted by dilute thermal gases. We show that 1QC and 2QC signals are periodic functions of the pulse area, with distinctive features that reflect the particles' interactions via photon exchange, the polarizations of the laser pulses, and the observation direction.
