An Atom Laser with a cw Output Coupler

Immanuel Bloch, Theodor W. Haensch, Tilman Esslinger

We demonstrate a continuous output coupler for magnetically trapped atoms. Over a period of up to 100 ms a collimated and monoenergetic beam of atoms is continuously extracted from…

Highly site-specific H2 adsorption on vicinal Si(001) surfaces

P. Kratzer, E. Pehlke, M. Scheffler +2

Experimental and theoretical results for the dissociative adsorption of H_2 on vicinal Si(001) surfaces are presented. Using optical second-harmonic generation, sticking probabilit…

Quantum noise and correlations in resonantly enhanced wave mixing based on atomic coherence

M. D. Lukin, A. B. Matsko, M. Fleischhauer +1

We investigate the quantum properties of fields generated by resonantly enhanced wave mixing based on atomic coherence in Raman systems. We show that such a process can be used for…

Interacting Dark Resonances: Interference Effects Induced by Coherently Altered Quantum Superpositions

M. D. Lukin, S. F. Yelin, M. Fleischhauer +1

We predict the possibility of sharp, high-contrast resonances in the optical response of a broad class of systems, wherein interference effects are generated by coherent perturbati…

Theory of atomic diffraction from evanescent waves

Carsten Henkel, Hartmut Wallis, Nathalie Westbrook +4

We review recent theoretical models and experiments dealing with the diffraction of neutral atoms from a reflection grating, formed by a standing evanescent wave. We analyze diffra…

The Casimir force for passive mirrors

A. Lambrecht, M. -T. Jaekel, S. Reynaud

We show that the Casimir force between mirrors with arbitrary frequency dependent reflectivities obeys bounds due to causality and passivity properties. The force is always smaller…
