Modulational instability in Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices

V. V. Konotop, Mario Salerno

A self-consistent theory of a cylindrically shaped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) periodically modulated by a laser beam is presented. We show, both analytically and numerically, that modulational instability/stability is the mechanism by which wave functions of soliton type can be generated in a cylindrically shaped BEC subject to a one-dimensional optical lattice. The theory explains why bright solitons can exist in a BEC with positive scattering length and why condensates with negative scattering length can be stable and give rise to dark solitary pulses.

Dark-dark solitons and modulational instability in miscible two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Mark A. Hoefer, JiaJia Chang, Chris Hamner +1 more

We investigate the dynamics of two miscible superfluids experiencing fast counterflow in a narrow channel. The superfluids are formed by two distinguishable components of a trapped dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The onset of counterflow-induced modulational instability throughout the cloud is observed and shown to lead to the proliferation of dark-dark vector solitons. These solitons do not exist in single-component systems, exhibit intriguing beating dynamics, and can experience a transverse instability leading to vortex line structures. Experimental results and multidimensional numerical simulations are presented.

Dynamics of Paired Bright Solitons Induced by the Modulational Instability of Two-component Bose-Einstein Condensates

Woo-Pyo Hong

We investigate numerically the dynamics of paired bright solitons induced by the modulational instability of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. We derive the analytic gain spectrum by the modulational instability in terms of the interspecies and intraspecies scattering constants and classify the region where the instability occurs. The constraints on the interspecies and intraspecies scattering constants for the existence of the paired bright solitons are found. Using numerical simulations, it is shown that the paired bright solitons induced by the modulational instability exhibit complicated dynamical behaviors depending on the sign and strength of the interspecies and intraspecies scattering constants. - PACS numbers: 03.75.Fi, 05.30.Jp, 32.80Pj, 67.90.+z
