All-optical switching using controlled formation of large volume three-dimensional optical matter

Jin Liu, Qiaofeng Dai, Ziming Meng +7 more

We demonstrated the creation of large volume three-dimensional optical matter by optically trapping polystyrene spheres in a capillary and the resulting switching operation. The formation of optical matter was confirmed by examining the diffraction pattern of the trap region. Optical switching with an extinction ratio as large as ∼20dB was realized. From the dynamics of the optical matter, it was found that the transition from a disordered state to an ordered one appeared to be quite fast while the recovery of the system to the disordered state took a much longer time.

Capillary instability in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate

Kazuki Sasaki, Naoya Suzuki, Hiroki Saito

Capillary instability and the resulting dynamics in an immiscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensate are investigated using the mean-field and Bogoliubov analyses. A long, cylindrical condensate surrounded by the other component is dynamically unstable against breakup into droplets due to the interfacial tension arising from the quantum pressure and interactions. A heteronuclear system confined in a cigar-shaped trap is proposed for realizing this phenomenon experimentally.
