Light transport in cold atoms: the fate of coherent backscattering in the weak localization regime
D. Wilkowski, Y. Bidel, T. Chaneliere +5
The recent observation of coherent backscattering (CBS) of light by atoms has emphasized the key role of the velocity spread and of the quantum internal structure of the atoms. Fir…
Non-Gaussian Velocity Distributions in Optical Lattices
Johan Jersblad, Harald Ellmann, Kristian Stöchkel +3
We present a detailed experimental study of the velocity distribution of atoms cooled in an optical lattice. Our results are supported by full-quantum numerical simulations. Even t…
Phase shifts of atomic de Broglie waves at an evanescent wave mirror
C. Henkel, J. -Y. Courtois, R. Kaiser +2
A detailed theoretical investigation of the reflection of an atomic de Broglie wave at an evanescent wave mirror is presented. The classical and the semiclassical descriptions of t…
