Topological constraints on the dynamics of vortex formation in a two-dimensional quantum fluid
Thibault Congy, Pierre Azam, Robin Kaiser +1
We present experimental and theoretical results on formation of quantum vortices in a laser beam propagating in a nonlinear medium. Topological constrains richer than the mere cons…
Loading of a large Yb MOT on the S-P transition
Hector Letellier, Álvaro Mitchell Galvão de Melo, Anaïs Dorne +1
We present an experimental setup to laser cool and trap a large number of Ytterbium atoms. Our design uses an oven with an array of microtubes for efficient collimation of the atom…
Cooperative photon emission rates in random atomic clouds
Viviana Viggiano, Romain Bachelard, Fabio Deelan Cunden +4
We investigate the properties of the cooperative decay modes of a cold atomic cloud, characterized by a Gaussian distribution in three dimensions, initially excited by a laser in t…
Intensity Interferometry observations of the H envelope of Cas with MéO and a portable telescope
Nolan Matthews, Jean-Pierre Rivet, David Vernet +9
We report on observations of the extended environment of the bright Be star -Cas performed using intensity interferometry measurements within its H emission line. These obser…
Nonequilibrium steady state in a large magneto-optical trap
Marius Gaudesius, Yong-Chang Zhang, Thomas Pohl +2
Considering light-mediated long-range interactions between cold atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT), we present numerical evidence of a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) for suf…
Static and dynamic properties of self-bound droplets of light in hot vapours
Heitor da Silva, Robin Kaiser, Tommaso Macrì
The propagation of light in nonlinear media is well described by a D nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) within the paraxial approximation, which is equivalent to the Gross-Pi…
