Spin relaxation and band excitation of a dipolar BEC in 2D optical lattices
B. Pasquiou, G. Bismut, E. Maréchal +4
We observe interband transitions mediated by the dipole-dipole interaction for an array of 1D quantum gases of chromium atoms, trapped in a 2D optical lattice. Interband transition…
Collective excitations of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate
G. Bismut, B. Pasquiou, E. Maréchal +4
We have measured the effect of dipole-dipole interactions on the frequency of a collective mode of a Bose-Einstein condensate. At relatively large numbers of atoms, the experimenta…
Optimized loading of an optical dipole trap for the production of Chromium BECs
G. Bismut, B. Pasquiou, D. Ciampini +4
We report on a strategy to maximize the number of chromium atoms transferred from a magneto-optical trap into an optical trap through accumulation in metastable states via strong o…
Control of dipolar relaxation in external fields
B. Pasquiou, G. Bismut, Q. Beaufils +6
We study dipolar relaxation in both ultra-cold thermal and Bose-condensed chromium atom gases. We show three different ways to control dipolar relaxation, making use of either a st…
