A single atom in free space as a quantum aperture
... The resonant absorption cross section for a single twostate atom in free space driven by an electromagnetic field of wavelength λ is σ = 3λ2 /2π [1]. Thus it seems reasonable to assume that a “weak” incident light beam focused onto an area A ∼ σ would experience a loss (as resonance fluorescence) co ...
