An Atom Trap Relying on Optical Pumping
P. Bouyer, P. Lemonde, M. Ben Dahan +3
We have investigated a new radiation pressure trap which relies on optical pumping and does not require any magnetic field. It employs six circularly polarized divergent beams and…
Interference of an array of independent Bose-Einstein condensates
Zoran Hadzibabic, Sabine Stock, Baptiste Battelier +2
We have observed high-contrast matter wave interference between 30 Bose-Einstein condensates with uncorrelated phases. Interference patterns were observed after independent condens…
Fast rotation of an ultra-cold Bose gas
Vincent Bretin, Sabine Stock, Yannick Seurin +1
We study the rotation of a Rb Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a magnetic trap to which a focused, off resonant gaussian laser beam is superimposed. The confining potent…
Injection of a cold atomic beam into a magnetic guide
C. F. Roos, P. Cren, T. Lahaye +2
We report the continuous or pulsed loading of a slow and cold atomic beam into a magnetic guide. In order to optimize the transfer into the guide, we have studied two coupling sche…
Formation of quantized vortices in a gaseous Bose-Einstein condensate
F. Chevy, K. Madison, V. Bretin +1
Using a focused laser beam we stir a Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a magnetic trap. When the stirring frequency lies near the transverse quadrupolar mode resonance we observ…
