Hitting a BEC with a comb: Evolution of interference patterns inside a magnetic trap
J. H. Müller, O. Morsch, M. Cristiani +2
We study the evolution inside a harmonic trap of Bose-Einstein condensates released from the periodic potential of an optical lattice. After a time-of-flight, harmonic motion of th…
Dynamics and phase evolution of Bose-Einstein condensates in one-dimensional optical lattices
O. Morsch, M. Cristiani, J. H. Müller +2
We report experimental results on the dynamics and phase evolution of Bose-Einstein condensates in 1D optical lattices. The dynamical behaviour is studied by adiabatically loading…
Excitation and damping of collective modes of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a one-dimensional lattice
O. Morsch, J. H. Müller, D. Ciampini +5
The mode structure of a Bose-Einstein condensate non-adiabatically loaded into a one-dimensional optical lattice is studied by analyzing the visibility of the interference pattern…
Photoionization of ultracold and Bose-Einstein condensed Rb atoms
D. Ciampini, M. Anderlini, J. H. Müller +4
Photoionization of a cold atomic sample offers intriguing possibilities to observe collective effects at extremely low temperatures. Irradiation of a rubidium condensate and of col…
Free expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a 1D optical lattice
O. Morsch, M. Cristiani, J. H. Müller +2
We have experimentally investigated the free expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an array of two-dimensional traps created by a one-dimensional optical lattice. If the conde…
Experimental properties of Bose-Einstein condensates in 1D optical lattices: Bloch oscillations, Landau-Zener tunneling and mean-field effects
M. Cristiani, O. Morsch, J. H. Müller +2
We report experimental results on the properties of Bose-Einstein condensates in 1D optical lattices. By accelerating the lattice, we observed Bloch oscillations of the condensate…
