Abstract
A compound nuclear-electron system driven by a coherent optical field and p robed at the gamma-ray Mossbauer transition is analyzed for the first time. The possibility of optical control of the Mossbauer spectra is predicted. This study provides the basis for a new branch of spectroscopy, laser-Mossb auer spectroscopy, and opens prospects for the realization of a gamma-ray l aser. [S0031-9007(99)09013-4].
