Transition radiation by matter-wave solitons in optical lattices.

چکیده
We demonstrate that matter-wave solitary pulses formed from Bose condensed atoms moving inside optical lattices continuously radiate dispersive matter waves with prescribed momentum. Our analytical results for the radiation parameters and the soliton decay rate are found to be in excellent agreement with numerical modeling performed for experimentally relevant parameters.

We analyze the Floquet-Bloch matter-wave spectrum of Bose-Einstein condensates loaded into single-periodic optical lattices and double-periodic superlattices. In the framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we describe the structure and analyze the mobility properties of dark matter-wave solitons residing on the background of extended nonlinear Bloch-type states. We demonstrate that interact...
متن کاملMobility and interaction of matter-wave solitons in optical lattices
Localization of matter waves in optical lattices is possible due to the balance of nonlinearity and dispersion which is modified by the band-gap spectrum of matter waves in a periodic potential. Nonlinear localization of a Bose-Einstein condensate with repulsive interatomic interactions loaded into a onedimensional (1D) optical lattice can occur in the form of both bright and dark solitons. Dar...
متن کاملMatter-wave soliton control in optical lattices with topological dislocations
We address the concept of guiding and transporting matter-wave solitons along the channels of optical lattices made by interference patterns of beams containing topological wavefront dislocations. The local lattice distortions that occur around the dislocations cause solitons to move along reconfigurable paths, a phenomenon that may be used for controlled all-optical manipulation of Bose-Einste...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional solitons in nonlinear lattices.
We address the existence and stability of two-dimensional solitons in optical or matter-wave media, which are supported by purely nonlinear lattices in the form of a periodic array of cylinders with self-focusing nonlinearity, embedded into a linear material. We show that such lattices can stabilize two-dimensional solitons against collapse. We also found that stable multipoles and vortex solit...
متن کاملMethods for discrete solitons in nonlinear lattices.
A method to find discrete solitons in nonlinear lattices is introduced. Using nonlinear optical waveguide arrays as a prototype application, both stationary and traveling-wave solitons are investigated. In the limit of small wave velocity, a fully discrete perturbative analysis yields formulas for the mode shapes and velocity.
