Bose-stimulated scattering off a cold atom trap
نویسنده
چکیده
The angle and temperature dependence of the photon scattering rate for Bose-stimulated atom recoil transitions between occupied states is compared to diffraction and incoherent Rayleigh scattering near the Bose-Einstein transition for an optically thin trap in the limit of large particle number, N . Each of these three processes has a range of angles and temperatures for which it dominates over the others by a divergent factor as N →∞.

Optical scattering angles and Bose - stimulated motion in cold atomic gas
Bose statistics imply a substantial enhancement at small angles for light scattering off a cold, Bose gas. The enhancement increases dramatically at the Bose-Einstein temperature. This phenomenon could be utilized to eliminate almost entirely the heating of the gas by a weak probe light beam.
متن کاملNumerical Study of the stability of Skyrmions in Bose-Einstein Condensates
We show that the stability of three-dimensional Skyrmions in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates depends critically on scattering lengths, atom numbers, trap rotation and trap anisotropy. In particular, for the Rb |F = 1, mf = −1〉, |F = 2,mf = 1〉 hyperfine states stability is sensitive to the scattering lengths at the 2% level, where the differences between them are crucial. In a cigar shaped tra...
متن کاملDesign for an optical cw atom laser.
A new type of optical cw atom laser design is proposed that should operate at high intensity and high coherence and possibly record low temperatures. It is based on an "optical-shepherd" technique, in which far-off-resonance blue-detuned swept sheet laser beams are used to make new types of high-density traps, atom waveguides, and other components for achieving very efficient Bose-Einstein cond...
متن کامل2 00 5 A permanent magnetic film atom chip for Bose - Einstein condensation
We present a hybrid atom chip which combines a permanent magnetic film with a micromachined current-carrying structure used to realize a Bose-Einstein condensate. A novel TbGdFeCo material with large perpendicular magnetization has been tailored to allow small scale, stable magnetic potentials for ultracold atoms. We are able to produce 87 Rb Bose-Einstein condensates in a magnetic trap based o...
متن کاملExistence and stability of coupled atomic-molecular Bose-Einstein condensates
Recent progress in the study of Bose-Einstein condensation ~BEC! is associated with the possibility of creating multicomponent condensates of different, coherently coupled, atomic species. Furthermore, the possibility of creating a hybrid condensate of atomic and molecular fractions has been suggested @1#, and has recently received some experimental support @2#. In such an atomic-molecular BEC ...
