Af. Molisch et al., EFFICIENT COMPUTATION OF SIMULTANEOUS RADIATION-TRAPPING AND PARTICLEDIFFUSION IN AN ATOMIC VAPOR, Journal of quantitative spectroscopy & radiative transfer, 52(6), 1994, pp. 841-846
We give an efficient algorithm for the computation of simultaneous rad
iation trapping and particle diffusion in an atomic vapor. We combine
the solutions of the trapping-without-diffusion and the diffusion-with
out-trapping problems by solving an algebraic eigenvalue problem. As a
n example for the use of our new method, we show a computation of the
fraction of wall-quenched atoms.
