Quasi-continuous atom laser in the presence of gravity
F. Gerbier, P. Bouyer, A. Aspect
We analyse the extraction of a coherent atomic beam from a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate using a rf transition to a non-trapping state at T=0 K. Our quantum treatment fully take…
Multi frequency evaporative cooling to BEC in a high magnetic field
V. Boyer, S. Murdoch, Y. Le Coq +3
We demonstrate a way to circumvent the interruption of evaporative cooling observed at high bias field for Rb atoms trapped in the (F=2, m=+2) ground state. Our scheme uses…
RF-induced evaporative cooling and BEC in a high magnetic field
P. Bouyer, V. Boyer, S. G. Murdoch +4
We present the design of our iron-core electromagnet for BEC, and how to solve the specific experimental problems raised by this technique. After presenting the experimental set-up…
Using atomic interference to probe atom-surface interaction
R. Marani, L. Cognet, V. Savalli +3
We show that atomic interference in the reflection from two suitably polarized evanescent waves is sensitive to retardation effects in the atom-surface interaction for specific exp…
