Beyond effective Hamiltonians: micromotion of Bose Einstein condensates in periodically driven optical lattices
M. Arnal, G. Chatelain, C. Cabrera-Gutiérrez +5
We investigate a Bose Einstein condensate held in a 1D optical lattice whose phase undergoes a fast oscillation using a statistical analysis. The averaged potential experienced by…
Fast phase-modulated optical lattice for wave packet engineering
C. Cabrera-Gutiérrez, A. Fortun, E. Michon +4
We investigate experimentally a Bose Einstein condensate placed in a 1D optical lattice whose phase is modulated at a frequency large compared to all characteristic frequencies. As…
Ultrarobust calibration of an optical lattice depth based on a phase shift
C. Cabrera-Gutiérrez, E. Michon, V. Brunaud +5
We report on a new method to calibrate the depth of an optical lattice. It consists in triggering the intrasite dipole mode of the cloud by a sudden phase shift. The corresponding…
Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a Bose Einstein condensate in a periodically driven band system
E. Michon, C. Cabrera-Gutierrez, A. Fortun +7
We report on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) placed in an optical lattice whose phase is suddenly modulated. The frequency and the amplitude of…
