recoilinduced
Recoilinduced refers to phenomena in physics that arise from momentum recoil when particles such as atoms or ions interact with light or other particles. The term is commonly used as an adjective to describe effects that depend on the transfer of momentum during photon absorption, emission, or scattering, and it appears in discussions of laser cooling, spectroscopy, and related processes.
A prominent example is recoil-induced resonance, observed in pump-probe or Raman configurations with cold or ultracold
Recoilinduced effects are used to study velocity distributions, implement velocity-selective optical pumping, and contribute to cooling
In related contexts, recoil considerations influence optical lattice experiments, Raman spectroscopy, and the broader field of
