✦ Synopsis
The results on non-spreading Michelangelo wave packets
[7,8] are generalized to the case of a
semi-open two-level system when some fraction of atoms falls back
to the lower state due to spontaneous transitions. The proposed
approach is based on the solution of the Generalized Optical Bloch
Equations for the atomic density matrix. The spatial features of
arising non-spreading wave packets as well as the atomic momentum
distribution are compared with the case of an open two-level
system.
