Abstract
We develop a novel approach for investigating the recoil-induced resonance (RIR) of cold atoms in diffuse laser light, which based on the semi-classical description of the atomic angular momentum. This approach simplifies the calculations of density-matrix equations in the complicated situation of atom-photon interactions and reveals a remarkable signature of the polarization effect on recoil-induced pump-probe spectroscopy.
