Construction of localized atomic wave packets
It is shown that highly localized solitons can be created in lower dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC), trapped in a regular harmonic trap, by temporally varying the trap frequency. A BEC confined in such a trap can be effectively used to construct a pulsed atomic laser emitting coherent atomic wave packets. It is also shown that one has complete control over the spatio-temporal dynamic...
متن کاملInelastic scattering of broadband electron wave packets driven by an intense midinfrared laser field.
Intense, 100 fs laser pulses at 3.2 and 3.6 μm are used to generate, by multiphoton ionization, broadband wave packets with up to 400 eV of kinetic energy and charge states up to Xe(+6). The multiple ionization pathways are well described by a white electron wave packet and field-free inelastic cross sections, averaged over the intensity-dependent energy distribution for (e, ne) electron impact...
متن کاملShaping an atomic electron wave packet.
We consider coherent control of the shape of an atomic electron's wavefunction using a train of short transform-limited laser pulses. This type of control is experimentally demonstrated by exciting with a train of three pulses and measuring the resulting quantum state distribution. We also present a general theory for control with a train of N pulses in the weak field limit and discuss the exte...
متن کاملCoherent delocalization of atomic wave packets in driven lattice potentials.
Atomic wave packets loaded into a phase-modulated vertical optical-lattice potential exhibit a coherent delocalization dynamics arising from intraband transitions among Wannier-Stark levels. Wannier-Stark intraband transitions are here observed by monitoring the in situ wave-packet extent. By varying the modulation frequency, we find resonances at integer multiples of the Bloch frequency. The r...
متن کاملMeasured photoemission from electron wave packets in a strong laser field.
We present calibrated measurements of single-photon Thomson scattering from free electrons driven by a laser with intensity 1018 W/cm2. The measurements demonstrate that individual electrons radiate with the strength of point emitters, even when their wave packets spread to the scale of the driving-laser wavelength. The result agrees with predictions of quantum electrodyn...
