Radio-frequency induced ground state degeneracy in a Chromium Bose-Einstein condensate
Q. Beaufils, T. Zanon, R. Chicireanu +5
We study the effect of strong radio-frequency (rf) fields on a chromium Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in a regime where the rf frequency is much larger than the Larmor frequency.…
All-Optical Production of Chromium Bose-Einstein Condensates
Q. Beaufils, R. Chicireanu, T. Zanon +5
We report on the production of ^52Cr Bose Einstein Condensates (BEC) with an all-optical method. We first load 5.10^6 metastable chromium atoms in a 1D far-off-resonance optical tr…
Averaging out magnetic forces with fast rf-sweeps in an optical trap for metastable chromium atoms
Q. Beaufils, R. Chicireanu, A. Pouderous +6
We introduce a novel type of time-averaged trap, in which the internal state of the atoms is rapidly modulated to modify magnetic trapping potentials. In our experiment, fast radio…
Accumulation and thermalization of cold atoms in a finite-depth magnetic trap
R. Chicireanu, Q. Beaufils, A. Pouderous +6
We experimentally and theoretically study the continuous accumulation of cold atoms from a magneto-optical trap (MOT) into a finite depth trap, consisting in a magnetic quadrupole…
