An adaptive inelastic magnetic mirror for Bose-Einstein condensates
arXiv:cond-mat/0103586 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.65.031601
Abstract
We report the reflection and focussing of a Bose-Einstein condensate by a new pulsed magnetic mirror. The mirror is adaptive, inelastic, and of extremely high optical quality. The deviations from specularity are less than 0.5 mrad rms, making this the best atomic mirror demonstrated to date. We have also used the mirror to realize the analog of a beam-expander, producing an ultra-cold collimated fountain of matter waves
