Superluminal Signals in Quantum Optics | Chapter 02 | Theory and Applications of Physical Science Vol. 1
Theoretically and experimentally the
superluminal signals arising at passage of an electromagnetic pulse through
thermally excited media are investigated. It is shown that the equations of
quantum electrodynamics solved by standard methods explain the appearance of
such signals as a consequence of fluctuation properties of secondary quantum
fields. It is indicated that quantum averages from operators of electric
strength and magnetic strength in these signals are equal to zero. The field
energy is different from zero. Such signals have no classical analogues. The
effective superluminal velocity of the laser beam after it crosses the
cylindrical parallel layer of thermally excited atoms has been calculated. The
results of experiments to measure the effective superluminal velocity of the
beam passing a cylindrical layer of air inside a hot metal tube are given.
Quantitative agreement of theoretical and experiment data is stated.
