Matter wave scattering on an amplitude-modulated optical lattice
Pierrick Cheiney, Charlotte Fabre, François Vermersch +4
We experimentally study the scattering of guided matter waves on an amplitude-modulated optical lattice. We observe different types of frequency-dependent dips in the asymptotic ou…
Optically guided beam splitter for propagating matter waves
Giovanni Luca Gattobigio, Antoine Couvert, Gael Reinaudi +2
We study experimentally and theoretically a beam splitter setup for guided atomic matter waves. The matter wave is a guided atom laser that can be tuned from quasi-monomode to a re…
Realization of a distributed Bragg reflector for propagating guided matter waves
Charlotte M. Fabre, Pierrick Cheiney, Giovanni Luca Gattobigio +5
We report on the experimental realization of a Bragg reflector for guided matter waves. A Bose-Einstein condensate with controlled velocity distribution impinges onto an attractive…
Guided atom laser: transverse mode quality and longitudinal momentum distribution
François Vermersch, Charlotte Fabre, Pierrick Cheiney +3
We analyze the outcoupling of a matter wave into a guide by a time-dependent spilling of the atoms from an initially trapped Bose-Einstein condensate. This process yields intrinsic…
Exploring classically chaotic potentials with a matter wave quantum probe
Giovanni Luca Gattobigio, Antoine Couvert, Bertrand Georgeot +1
We study an experimental setup in which a quantum probe, provided by a quasi-monomode guided atom laser, interacts with a static localized attractive potential whose characteristic…
Zeeman slowers made simple with permanent magnets in a Halbach configuration
P. Cheiney, O. Carraz, D. Bartoszek-Bober +7
We describe a simple Zeeman slower design using permanent magnets. Contrary to common wire-wound setups no electric power and water cooling are required. In addition, the whole sys…
