Beam quality of a non-ideal atom laser
J. -F. Riou, W. Guerin, Y. Le Coq +4
We study the propagation of a non-interacting atom laser distorted by the strong lensing effect of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) from which it is outcoupled. We observe a tran…
Partially ferromagnetic electromagnet for trapping and cooling neutral atoms to quantum degeneracy
Marie Fauquembergue, Jean-Félix Riou, William Guerin +7
We have developed a compact partially ferromagnetic electromagnet to produce a Ioffe-Pritchard trap for neutral atoms. Our structure permits strong magnetic confinement with low po…
A deterministic origin for instabilities in a magneto-optical trap
Andrea di Stefano, Marie Fauquembergue, Philippe Verkerk +1
The paper reports on the observation of a new type of instabilities in the atomic cloud of a magneto-optical trap (MOT). They appear as large amplitude self-oscillations, either pe…
