Large atom number Bose-Einstein Condensate machines
Erik W Streed, Ananth P Chikkatur, Todd L Gustavson +6
We describe experimental setups for producing large Bose-Einstein condensates of 23Na and 87Rb. In both, a high flux thermal atomic beam is decelerated by a Zeeman slower and is ca…

Direct, Non-Destructive Imaging of Magnetization in a Spin-1 Bose Gas
J. M. Higbie, L. E. Sadler, S. Inouye +5
Polarization-dependent phase-contrast imaging is used to spatially resolve the magnetization of an optically trapped ultracold gas. This probe is applied to Larmor precession of de…

Bose-Einstein condensates near a microfabricated surface
A. E. Leanhardt, Y. Shin, A. P. Chikkatur +3
Magnetically and optically confined Bose-Einstein condensates were studied near a microfabricated surface. Condensate fragmentation observed in microfabricated magnetic traps was n…
