Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 1085–1088 (1988)Water as a Free Electric Dipole LaserReceived 23 May 1988; published in the issue dated 29 August 1988 We show that the usually neglected interaction between the electric dipole of the water molecule and the quantized electromagnetic radiation field can be treated in the context of a recent quantum field theoretical formulation of collective dynamics. We find the emergence of collective modes and the appearance of permanent electric polarization around any electrically polarized impurity. © 1988 The American Physical Society URL:
