Abstract

We propose a microscopic approach for a description of interaction of the ideal gas of alkali atoms with a weak electromagnetic radiation. The description is constructed in the framework of the Green functions formalism that is based on a new formulation of the second quantization method in case of the bound states (atoms) presence. For a gas in the Bose-condensed (BEC) state we study the dependencies of the propagation velocity and damping rate on the microscopic characteristics of the system. For a condensed dilute gas of sodium atoms we find the conditions of the group velocity reducing for optical pulses tuned up close to the resonant transitions. We also show that the slowing phenomenon can strongly depend on the intensity of the external static magnetic field.
