An all-optical gray lattice for atoms

H. Stecher, H. Ritsch, P. Zoller +3

We create a gray optical lattice structure using a blue detuned laser field coupling an atomic ground state of angular momentum J simultaneously to two excited states with angular…

Ramsey type Sub-Recoil Cooling

Frank Sander, Thibaut Devolder, Tilman Esslinger +1

We experimentally study the motion of atoms interacting with a periodically pulsed near resonant standing wave. For discrete pulse frequencies we observe a comb-like momentum distr…

Thermodynamics of non-interacting Bosons in low-dimensional potentials

Gert-Ludwig Ingold, Astrid Lambrecht

On the basis of a macroscopic ground state population it was argued recently that Bose-Einstein condensation should occur in a one-dimensional harmonic potential. We examine this s…

Comment on ``Sonoluminescence as Quantum Vacuum Radiation''

Astrid Lambrecht, Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud

We contest the recent claim by C. Eberlein (Physical Review Letters 76 (1996) 3842) that sonoluminescence may be explained in terms of quantum vacuum radiation. Due to fundamental…

Motion Induced Radiation from a Vibrating Cavity

Astrid Lambrecht, Marc-Thierry Jaekel, Serge Reynaud

We study the radiation emitted by a cavity moving in vacuum. We give a quantitative estimate of the photon production inside the cavity as well as of the photon flux radiated from…

Interference of Bose condensates

M. Naraschewski, H. Wallis, A. Schenzle +2

We investigate the prospects of atomic interference using samples of Bose condensed atoms. First we show the ability of two independent Bose condensates to create an interference p…
