Abstract
We investigate the effect of a phase-modulated pump beam on collective backscattering also termed collective
atomic recoil lasing CARL by a cold, collisionless atomic gas. We show using a numerical analysis
that different regimes can be identified in which the atomic dynamics evolves in a qualitatively different
manner during the light-atom interaction, depending on the magnitude of the pump modulation frequency. Our
results also demonstrate that phase-modulating the pump field can substantially enhance the backscattered field
