Atom-Optics Billiards: Non-linear dynamics with cold atoms in optical traps
Ariel Kaplan, Mikkel Andersen, Nir Friedman +1
We present a new experimental system (the ``atom-optics billiard'') and demonstrate chaotic and regular dynamics of cold, optically trapped atoms. We show that the softness of the…

Stable regions and singular trajectories in chaotic soft wall billiards
Ariel Kaplan, Nir Friedman, Mikkel Andersen +1
We present numerical and experimental results for the development of islands of stability in atom-optics billiards with soft walls. As the walls are soften, stable regions appear n…

High sensitivity two-photon spectroscopy in a dark optical trap, based on electron shelving
L. Khaykovich, N. Friedman, S. Baluschev +2
We propose a new spectroscopic method for measuring weak transitions in cold and trapped atoms, which exploits the long interaction times and tight confinement offered by dark opti…
