Direct Observation of Sub-Poissonian Number Statistics in a Degenerate Bose Gas
C. -S. Chuu, F. Schreck, T. P. Meyrath +3
We report the direct observation of sub-Poissonian number fluctuation for a degenerate Bose gas confined in an optical trap. Reduction of number fluctuations below the Poissonian l…

Bose Einstein Condensate in a Box
T. P. Meyrath, F. Schreck, J. L. Hanssen +2
Bose-Einstein condensates have been produced in an optical box trap. This novel optical trap type has strong confinement in two directions comparable to that which is possible in a…

A high frequency optical trap for atoms using Hermite-Gaussian beams
T. P. Meyrath, F. Schreck, J. L. Hanssen +2
We present an experimental method to create a single high frequency optical trap for atoms based on an elongated Hermite-Gaussian TEM01 mode beam. This trap results in confinement…
