Abstract

The dynamics of stimulated Raman atom-molecule conversion in a Bose-Einstein condensate, i.e., periodic or aperiodic coupling of two dissimilar Bose atoms into a heteronuclear molecule, has been studied. It is shown that the period and amplitude of oscillations in the molecular density significantly depend on the initial particle densities and phase differences.

The dynamics of optically stimulated atomic-molecular conversion in a Bose-Einstein condensate has been investigated, i.e., the periodic association of two unlike Bose atoms into a heteronuclear molecule followed by dissociation of the molecule into two atoms. It has been shown that the period and amplitude of the molecular density oscillations depend substantially on the initial particle densities and phase difference.

Dynamics of stimulated Raman atom-molecule conversion in a Bose-Einstein condensate

P. I. Khadzhi, D. V. Tkachenko

The time evolution of the density of interacting atoms, molecules, and photons in the process of stimulated conversion is studied. It is shown that the process of pairwise coupling of atoms into molecules can be both periodic and aperiodic. The period of reaction oscillations is substantially determined by the initial densities of particles and initial phase difference.

Dynamics of Stimulated Atomic-Molecular Raman Conversion in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

P. I. Khadzhi, D. V. Tkachenko

A set of nonlinear evolution equations describing the dynamics of atoms, molecules, and photons in the course of stimulated atomic-molecular conversion in a Bose-Einstein condensate is derived and studied in the mean-field approximation. It is shown that conversion can be periodic or aperiodic in time, the rate of the process being determined to a considerable extent by the initial density of particles and by the initial phase difference. Depending on the initial conditions, various conversion modes can be realized. The possibility of stabilization of a special state (of rest) of the system for nonzero initial number densities of particles is predicted. It is pointed out that coherence of a Bose condensate of atoms, molecules, and photons predetermines the possibility of phase control of the conversion process.

Dynamic features of stimulated raman atomic-molecular conversion in a mixture of two bose gases with the formation of bose condensates of heteronuclear molecules

P. I. Khadzhi, Зинган Анна Петровна

Based on the mean-field approximation, a system of nonlinear differential equations is obtained which describes the dynamics of atomic-molecular conversion induced by two resonance Raman laser pulses. The obtained integrals of motion allow one to reduce the problem to one evolution equation for the density of molecules. The solutions of this equation show that different time evolution regimes of the system are possible, depending on the initial conditions: the periodic and aperiodic regimes and the rest. The dependences of the period and amplitude on the initial density of particles and the initial phase difference are studied in detail. The possibility of the phase control of the system dynamics is proved.

A set of nonlinear evolution equations describing the dynamics of atoms, molecules, and photons in the course of stimulated atomic—molecular conversion in a Bose—Einstein condensate is derived and studied in the mean-field approximation. It is shown that conversion can be periodic or aperiodic in time, the rate of the process being determined to a considerable extent by the initial density of particles and by the initial phase difference. Depending on the initial conditions, various conversion modes can be realized.
