Abstract :
This article report on measurements of cavity-enhanced Rayleigh scattering into an optical Fabry-Perot resonator using several room-temperature atomic and molecular gases. The laser light is far detuned from any optical transition. Therefore, excitation and spontaneous emission is avoided and the scattering process can be described by a classical oscillating dipole.
