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…
Phase diagram of spatiotemporal instabilities in a large magneto-optical trap
M. Gaudesius, Y. -C. Zhang, T. Pohl +2
Large clouds of cold atoms prepared in a magneto-optical trap are known to present spatiotemporal instabilities when the frequency of the trapping lasers is brought close to the at…
Dissipation-enhanced collapse singularity of a nonlocal fluid of light in a hot atomic vapor
Pierre Azam, Adrien Fusaro, Quentin Fontaine +6
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a two-dimensional paraxial fluid of light using a near-resonant laser propagating through a hot atomic vapor. We observe a double shock-…
Role of disorder in super- and subradiance of cold atomic clouds
Florent Cottier, Robin Kaiser, Romain Bachelard
The presence of superradiance and subradiance in microscopic and mean-field approaches to light scattering in atomic media is investigated. We show that these phenomena are present…
Matter wave speckle observed in an out-of-equilibrium quantum fluid
Pedro E. S. Tavares, Amilson R. Fritsch, Gustavo D. Telles +4
We report the results of a direct comparison of a freely expanding turbulent Bose-Einstein condensate and the propagation of an optical speckle pattern. We found remarkably similar…
