Abstract

We study photon escape rates from two-dimensional atomic gases while taking into account cooperative effects between the scatterers. Based on the spectrum of the random Euclidean matrix Uij=J0(xij), where xij is the dimensionless random distance between any two atoms, a scaling behavior for the escape rates is obtained. This behavior is similar to the one obtained in the three-dimensional case, but qualitatively different from the result obtained in one dimension.
