Calculation Based On Semiclassical Theory
In the semiclassical picture, the state vector of electrons is
- .
If the nonvanishing dipole matrix elements are described by
- for V-type atoms,
- for -type atoms,
then each atom has two microscopic oscillating dipoles
- for V-type, when ,
- for -type, when .
In the semiclassical picture, the field radiated will be a sum of these two terms
- ,
so it is clear that there is an interference or beat note term in a square law detector
- .

Famous quotes containing the words calculation, based and/or theory:
“Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation appled to life.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“Justice in the hands of the powerful is merely a governing system like any other. Why call it justice? Let us rather call it injustice, but of a sly effective order, based entirely on cruel knowledge of the resistance of the weak, their capacity for pain, humiliation and misery. Injustice sustained at the exact degree of necessary tension to turn the cogs of the huge machine-for- the-making-of-rich-men, without bursting the boiler.”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
“Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienest who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous.... The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
