TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.
Abstract
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.

Velocity compression and cooling of a sodium atomic beam using a frequency modulated ring laser

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects associated with velocity compression and cooling of atomic beams through laser-atom interactions were investigated using a high-resolution atomic beam apparatus and a frequency-swept ring laser.

Beyond Einstein's radiation theory

TL;DR: In this article, a non-stationary linear mechanism of relaxation to blackbody radiation below threshold is studied and a criterion for lasing is given in terms of the chemical potential of radiation which is compared to the inequality for the transition from quantum to classical statistics.
