Asymmetric resonance in selective reflection: Explanation via Fano-like mechanism (1105.4020v1)
Published 20 May 2011 in physics.optics and physics.atom-ph
Abstract: Fano mechanism is the universal explanation of asymmetric resonance appearing in different systems. We report the evidence of Fano-like resonance in selective reflection from a resonant two-level medium. We draw an analogy with the asymmetric resonance previously obtained for the coupled oscillators. We also take into account the effects of dielectric background and local-field correction and connect our results with optical bistability.
