Strong-field spatial interference in a tailored electromagnetic bath
M. Macovei, J. Evers, G. -x. Li, C. H. Keitel
abstract: Light scattered by a regular structure of atoms can exhibit interference
signatures, similar to the classical double-slit. These first-order
interferences, however, vanish for strong light intensities, restricting
potential applications. Here, we show how to overcome these limitations to
quantum interference in strong fields. First, we recover the first-order
interference in strong fields via a tailored electromagnetic bath with a
suitable frequency dependence. At strong driving, the optical properties for
different spectral bands are distinct, thus extending the set of observables.
We further show that for a two-photon detector as, e.g., in lithography,
increasing the field intensity leads to twice the spatial resolution of the
second-order interference pattern compared to the weak-field case.
