Abstract
We present an analytical expression for the response of a two-level atom to a frequency-modulated optically coherent pulse train. The optical beam has sinusoidal frequency modulation and is chopped to have a square-wave envelope. We assume that the laser pulses are short compared with the atomic-decay time, the pulse-repetition time, and the modulation period. With this short-pulse assumption we are able to use a method similar to Temkin s J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 10 , 830 839 (1993) and solve the optical Bloch equations in closed form. 1998 Optical Society of America S0740-3224(98)02206-1
