Abstract

We study the coherent scattering of weak near-resonant light off a Bose-Einstein condensate formed by a system of cooled atoms in a trap. Scattering occurs primarily in the forward direction, and exhibits a very narrow feature on top of a broad non-Lorentzian background.

Probing Bose-Einstein condensed atoms with short laser pulses

Maciej Lewenstein, Li You

We propose a method of probing a system of cooled atoms in a trap using short laser pulses. Above the critical temperature for Bose-Einstein condensation such a system scatters very weakly. Coherent scattering occurs primarily in the forward direction. Below the critical temperature, the number of scattered photons increases dramatically and the scattered light is emitted in the solid angle determined by the size of the condensate.

Spectrum of Light Scattered from a Weakly Interacting Bose-Einstein Condensed Gas

Robert Graham, Daniel F. Walls

Light scattered off a dilute Bose-Einstein condensed gas of atoms at large detuning, besides a broad background, shows two symmetrically placed peaks whose intensities are related by detailed balance and whose frequencies depend on the product of the number of atoms in the condensate and the scattering length.

Probing a Bose-Einstein condensate by near-resonant light scattering

Charles A. Sackett, Jordan M. Gerton, M. Welling +1 more

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of atoms with attractive interactions is profoundly different from BEC of atoms with repulsive interactions. We describe experiments with Bose condensates of 7Li atoms, which are weakly attracting at ultralow temperature. We measure the distribution of condensate occupation numbers occurring in the gas using a near-resonant optical probe to image the atom cloud. This data shows that the number is limited and demonstrates the dynamics of condensate growth and collapse due to the attractive interactions.

First- and second-order coherence of scattered laser light from a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate

Hiroki Saito, Masahito Ueda

The second-order coherence of photons scattered from a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate is found to be enhanced for the scattering angles that are either the same or symmetrical with respect to the direction of laser propagation. The enhancement occurs periodically with respect to the time interval between photons, and becomes less and less pronounced with increasing the strength of the interaction between atoms.

Quantum field theory of atoms interacting with photons. III. Scattering of weak cw light from cold samples of bosonic atoms

We study the coherent scattering of weak light from a system of cooled bosonic atoms in a trap. We derive and discuss in detail the scattering equation for such a process that describes multiple scatterings from different atoms. Our theory accounts for atom-atom interactions and determines the density profile of the atomic fields from the self-consistent Bogoliubov-Hartree method. We present two kinds of analytic solutions to the scattering equation using the on-shell approximation and the generalized diffraction theory. We discuss the validity of those approaches, and demonstrate that they both lead to similar results. Our studies indicate that the scattering cross sections exhibit non-Lorentzian shapes with narrow features close to resonance. Coherent scattering occurs mainly in the forward direction, and the angular distribution is limited by the size of the atomic sample in the trap. We present results for various ranges of relevant parameters such as trap size, interaction strength, number of atoms, and temperature, etc. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Superradiant Rayleigh Scattering from a Bose-Einstein Condensate

S. Inouye, A. P. Chikkatur, Dan Stamper-Kurn +3 more

Rayleigh scattering off a Bose-Einstein condensate was studied. Exposing an elongated condensate to a single off-resonant laser beam resulted in the observation of highly directional scattering of light and atoms. This collective light scattering is caused by the coherent center-of-mass motion of the atoms in the condensate. A directional beam of recoiling atoms was built up by matter wave amplification.
