Controlled Generation of Dark Solitons with Phase Imprinting

arXiv:cond-mat/0105377 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.034101

Abstract

The generation of dark solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates with phase imprinting is studied by mapping it into the classic problem of a damped driven pendulum. We provide simple but powerful schemes of designing the phase imprint for various desired outcomes. We derive a formula for the number of dark solitons generated by a given phase step, and also obtain results which explain experimental observations.
