Laser-induced Rotation of a Trapped Bose-Einstein Condensate
arXiv:cond-mat/9707294 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.57.3801
Abstract
In this letter, atom optic techniques are proposed to control the excitation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an atomic trap. We show that by employing the dipole potential induced by four highly detuned travelling-wave laser beams with appropriate phases and frequencies, one can coherently excite a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate composed of ultracold alkali atoms into a state rotating around the trap center. The connection to vortex states is discussed.
