Abstract

The effect of the random motion of atoms in a gas on the coherence of the radiation from the gas is investigated. It is found that, as long as the spontaneous radiation wavelength is sufficiently greater than the interparticle distance so that a coherence effect exists for stationary atoms, the actual random motion of the atoms can only cause a minor modification.
