Nonlinear Self-Trapping of Matter Waves in Periodic Potentials
Th. Anker, M. Albiez, R. Gati +4
We report the first experimental observation of nonlinear self-trapping of Bose-condensed 87Rb atoms in a one dimensional waveguide with a superimposed deep periodic potential . Th…
Bright gap solitons of atoms with repulsive interaction
B. Eiermann, Th. Anker, M. Albiez +4
We report on the first experimental observation of bright matter-wave solitons for 87Rb atoms with repulsive atom-atom interaction. This counter intuitive situation arises inside a…
Linear and nonlinear dynamics of matter wave packets in periodic potentials
Th. Anker, M. Albiez, B. Eiermann +2
We investigate experimentally and theoretically the nonlinear propagation of 87Rb Bose Einstein condensates in a trap with cylindrical symmetry. An additional weak periodic potenti…
Dispersion management for atomic matter waves
B. Eiermann, P. Treutlein, Th. Anker +4
We demonstrate the control of the dispersion of matter wave packets utilizing periodic potentials. This is analogous to the technique of dispersion management known in photon optic…
