A theory for the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and a two-level atom in the electric- and magnetic-dipole approximation is presented. The Dyson-like equation satisfied by the propagators are generalized and a coupled set is obtained. This set is solved, and the susceptibilities are calculated. T h e dynamical equations for the fields are d i s c u s s e d when the field is s u p p o s e d to be an unpolarized and isotropic field. It is remarked that the Lamb-shift is enlarged, and the line shape is enhanced. Near r e s o n a n c e the fields are comprised of resonant and off resonant parts. The reaction field is identified.
I. Introduction
The problem of the interaction of an atom with the electro-magnetic field has been the core of a great deal of interest for a long t i m e ~ ) . The spontaneous emission is well understood using the perturbation theory methods either in the non-relativistic region 3) or relativisticallyS). It has been pointed o u t 6) that a dynamical theory of spontaneous emission which exhibits the radiation damping m e c h a n i s m as the consequence of a radiation reaction field is desirable. This is due to the d e v e l o p m e n t of intense fields and m e a s u r e m e n t techniques, and hence systematical investigation of for example, the optics of systems of atoms is needed without the inclusion of imperical damping factors or shifts, a priori. Because of interactable problems involved, any serious investigation resolves to the electric-dipole approximation. H o w e v e r , it is known, that the addition of a term representing the magnetic-dipole to the interaction makes the problem difficult7). This inclusion corrects, for example, the binding and van der Waals energies 8'9) and makes a p h e n o m e n o n like optical rotation * P r e s e n t address: Faculty of Science, King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 316

explicable~°). Therefore, we would expect that this inclusion would contribute to Lamb-shift and effect the line shape, and consequently damping in the system. Thus the aim of this paper is to exhibit such effects. This is being tackled through the f r a m e work of a field reaction theory. This theory and its relations to current theories in the literature like the neo-classical t h e o r y " ) and the master equation~2), are discussed in some detail inl3). The outline of the perturbation theory and the decorrelation procedure, which is used in this study, is discussed in section 2. The Hamiltonian is written down for a two-level atom in interaction with the electromagnetic field. The field is c o m p o s e d of a probe (a c-number classical field) and a quantized field. A set of equations is obtained for the electric and magnetic dipole operators. These equations are taken up and developed in section 3. A set of coupled equations for a set of propagators is obtained. These propagators satisfy a generalized D y s o n - t y p e equation. The consequences of this set of equations is analyzed in section 4. The equations of motions for the different vectors in an isotropic unpolarized field are obtained. The reaction fields are identified. The a p p e a r a n c e of parts of the fields which m a y be interpreted to have an off-resonance behaviour is noted. Finally section 5 concludes with a discussion of these results.
2. The perturbation expansion The Hamiltonian of the system is written in the usual way H=no+Hint,
(2.1)
where H0 designates the Hamiltonian for the system of the unperturbed atom Hmat, and the electro-magnetic field Hrad; the contribution due to the classical probe can be ignored because of its c-number nature. The contributions of the electric and magnetic dipoles are taken to represent the interaction between the atom and the field. Thus the interaction Hamiltonian density is written in the form Hi.t(x, t) = - g ( x , t ) . [e(x, t) + E(x, t)] - m(x, t ) . [h(x, t) + H(x, t)],
(2.2)
where bt(x, t) = ~ ( t ) 6 ( x - Xo), m ( x , t) = m ( t ) 8 ( x - Xo), e(x, t) and h ( x , t) are the appropriate operators. All these operators are taken in the Dirac-interaction representation while E and H represent the classical probe. We specify now the atomic system to be an two-level atom with separation

Hmat = lhtoso'z.
We a s s u m e that the dipole m o m e n t o p e r a t o r s can be written in the following simple f o r m l a ( t ) = tXo~trx(t)ut
and
re(t) = mosoy(t)u2
(2.3b)
with u, and u2 unit vectors. N o w , we look at the H e i s e n b e r g e q u a t i o n of m o t i o n of the operators. W e shall c o n s i d e r the e q u a t i o n of m o t i o n for the electric-dipole m o m e n t operator, as an example. This e q u a t i o n is

(2.4)
This equation is solved by s u c c e s s i v e iterations, which is well-known as the K u b o - f o r m a l i s m of the p e r t u r b a t i o n theory. In this formalism, a nest of c o m m u t a t o r s appears. In the following we shall c o n s i d e r the first few nests in s o m e detail. It is d o n e to establish a pattern which is carried o v e r in nests of higher order. T h e first of these nests is the c o m m u t a t o r [/.t(t), Him(t0] = - u t [ t t ( t ) , I ~ ( t O e ( t O + m ( t O h ( t O ] ,

where we have used u~. e = e and u2" h = h. W h e n the e x p r e s s i o n (2.3b) is i n t r o d u c e d , the a b b r e v i a t i o n Si = S ( t i ) and the properties of the o p e r a t o r s tr. are used, we arrive at [la(t), Hi,t(td] = -ul{(~0s)2(2 i sin w~(t - t,))tr:e~ +/x0sm0~(2 i cos to~(t - t0)o'zh~}.

T h e s e c o n d iteration is proportional to the nest: [[/x(t),/xlel + mlht], ~2e2+ m2h2] = (/Xo,)2(2 i sin ~o~(t -- tO){iZo,O-:Xrx(t2)[el, e2]+ + mos~rztr~(t2)[el, h2]+} + (~o~mo~)(2 i cos to~(t - tl)){lXo~tr.

T h e [ . . . . . ]+ is the a n t i c o m m u t a t o r of the two operators.

These terms depend on ~o through the d e p e n d e n c e of the polarizabilities a +, s~+, sr+ and y+, and the d e p e n d e n c e of the terms J+ and IT on w. When expressions for the polarizabilities (i.e. eqs. 3.3) and that of 17(~o) and J j ( w ) are substituted in (3.5) and then in eqs. (3.2), we get the f r e q u e n c y dependence of the propagators //, E Z and M. This d e p e n d e n c e and especially the d e p e n d e n c e of the denominator is our primary interest. It is observed that all the propagators have the same denominator. In what follows we shall discuss the case when we have isotropic fields. This means that the n u m b e r nk depends on (k) only.
4. The dynamical equations In the case of isotropic un-polarized fields, nk depends on (k) alone, and the expressions in (3.4) can now be calculated easily. For such fields it is found that J~(o~)= J~-(o~)= J](w)6), while we find that 1~(~o) and l ~ ( w ) vanish, In this case, we can write the denominator which is c o m m o n to all propagators in the f o r m ( 1 - a+J~-)(l- a _ J ~ ) .

It is obvious that the governing equation of these fields is the driven damped oscillator equation. The driving force depends upon the electric and magnetic fields. Under certain conditions 6) the second term in (4.5) could be replaced by a term proportional to the 3rd derivative. With this in mind, the interpretation of reaction field in the sense of W e i s s k o p f and Wigner is apparent. The other two fields P2 and m2 satisfy the equations of motion p2(t) = d H ( t )

rh2(t) = - d ' E ( t ) .

These equations could be understood as off-resonance fields. It is noted here that the field P2 is produced by the magnetic field H, while m2 is given by the electric field E.
5. Discussion
Consideration of a magnetic dipole associated with a two-level atom, generalizes the Dyson-like equation for the dipole propagator. The representation of the magnetic dipole in terms of Pauli matrices changes the pattern. The susceptibilities now change, and depend on J+ and I +. For an isotropic unpolarized field the tensor J+ b e c o m e s isotropic, while I+ vanishes. This makes the problem s o m e w h a t simpler and consequently the fields are broken into two parts. The first of these parts which we m a y call
