Abstract

The recent findings of line narrowing in Raman-active continuous-wave-pumped gas [1] showed that the Stokes scattering occurs in a Lamb-Dicke regime and is associated to formation of array of deep subwavelength nanotraps, which resulted in a sub-recoil linewidth Stokes radiation [1]. The results also showed that this nanotrap lattice exhibits a macroscopic motion. Here we present theoretical and numerical analysis of this phenomenon, addressing the peculiarities of field distribution and fascinating effect of nanotrap lattice in motion.
