Asymmetric diffusion in the delta-kicked rotor with broken symmetries
P. H. Jones, M. Goonasekera, H. E. Saunders-Singer +2
We report an experimental investigation of momentum diffusion in the delta-function kicked rotor where time symmetry is broken by a two-period kicking cycle and spatial symmetry by…
Shifting the boundaries: pulse-shape effects in the atom-optics kicked rotor
P. H. Jones, M. Goonasekera, H. E. Saunders-Singer +1
We present the results of experiments performed on cold caesium in a pulsed sinusoidal optical potential created by counter-propagating laser beams having a small frequency differe…
Directed motion for delta-kicked atoms with broken symmetries: comparison between theory and experiment
P. H. Jones, M. Goonasekera, D. R. Meacher +2
We report an experimental investigation of momentum diffusion in the delta-function kicked rotor where time symmetry is broken by a two-period kicking cycle and spatial symmetry by…
Coherent transients in optical lattices
O. Morsch, P. H. Jones, D. R. Meacher
We use a method based on optical coherent transients to study the vibrational coherence lifetimes of atoms trapped in the potential wells of a near-resonant optical lattice in the…
