Hamiltonian of a charge in an electromagnetic field Set of charges {qi}:
Time-dependent perturbation theory (cont.) Transition probability: Taylor expansion:
Time-dependent perturbation theory (cont.) resonance: resonance: selection rule:
Time-dependent perturbation theory (cont.) First (and larger) perturbation term: (with q = - e, m of electron) Integral involved: Single photon transition Spontaneous emission
Time-dependent perturbation theory (cont.) After some algebra:
Time-dependent perturbation theory (cont.) Second (smaller) perturbation term: (q = - e, m of electron) terms : two-photon transitions two-photon transitions: weak ( use LASER). e.g. Raman
