Continuous Acceleration Sensing Using Optomechanical Droplets
Gordon R. M. Robb, Josh G. M. Walker, Gian-Luca Oppo +1
We show that a Bose--Einstein Condensate illuminated by a far off-resonant optical pump field and its retroreflection from a feedback mirror can produce stable, localised structure…
Spontaneously sliding multipole spin density waves in cold atoms
G. Labeyrie, J. G. M. Walker, G. R. M. Robb +2
We report on the observation of spontaneously drifting coupled spin and quadrupolar density waves in the ground state of laser driven Rubidium atoms. These laser-cooled atomic ense…
Long-range interactions in a quantum gas mediated by diffracted light
Gordon Robb, Josh Walker, Gian-Luca Oppo +1
A BEC interacting with an optical field via a feedback mirror can be a realisation of the quantum Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, a paradigmatic model of long-range interaction…
Spontaneous atomic crystallization via diffractive dephasing in optical cavities
Adrián Costa-Boquete, Giuseppe Baio, Gordon R. M. Robb +3
The design of an experiment on the spontaneous crystallization of a laser-cooled, but thermal atomic cloud into a hexagonally structured phase is discussed. Atomic interaction is m…
Optical pattern formation with a 2-level nonlinearity
A. Camara, R. Kaiser, G. Labeyrie +5
We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of spontaneous pattern formation in the transverse section of a single retro-reflected laser beam passing through a cloud o…
Opto-Mechanical Pattern Formation in Cold Atoms
E. Tesio, G. R. M. Robb, T. Ackemann +2
Transverse pattern formation in an optical cavity containing a cloud of cold two-level atoms is discussed. We show that density modulation becomes the dominant mechanism as the ato…
