Diffuse reflection of a Bose-Einstein condensate from a rough evanescent wave mirror
arXiv:physics/0605092 · doi:10.1088/0953-4075/39/22/009
Abstract
We present experimental results showing the diffuse reflection of a Bose-Einstein condensate from a rough mirror, consisting of a dielectric substrate supporting a blue-detuned evanescent wave. The scattering is anisotropic, more pronounced in the direction of the surface propagation of the evanescent wave. These results agree very well with theoretical predictions.
