Structured vectorial beams and their effects in ultracold atoms

Abstract

Effects of the interaction structured light-ultra cold atoms are illustrated by describing: (i) modifications of internal transition rates of individual atoms, (ii) the collective dynamics of thermal and degenerate fractions of Bose Einstein condensates.

INTERACTIONS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION WITH BOSE–EINSTEIN CONDENSATES: MANIPULATING ULTRA–COLD ATOMS WITH LIGHT

Federica Cattani, Arkady V. Kim, M. Lisak +1 more

A review of models describing the interactions of ultra-cold atoms and laser light is given. Both semi-classical and fully quantum models are presented with particular attention given to the introduction of local field effects. Some possible effects of self-localization and guiding, consequences of such interactions, are discussed.

Matter-wave lensing of ultracold atomic gases by interaction quenching via two-photon scattering

Meung Ho Seo, Jongchul Mun, Sang-Bum Lee +1 more

Precision quantum sensors using cold atom interferometers with long interrogation times are often limited by the ballistic expansion of atomic samples after release from traps, manifesting by means of laser beam wavefront uncertainties. In this study we utilize near-resonant light interacting with an ultracold atomic sample for collective-mode excitation of a 87Rb Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) in a magnetic trap. The collective motion is initiated after abruptly modifying the atom-atom interaction energy by reduction of the BEC atom number density via photon scattering using the two-photon transition from $5S_{1/2}$ to $5D_{5/2}$ . We show that the two-photon transition can induce matter-wave lensing of the atomic cloud with minimal center-of-mass perturbation providing an optimal ultra-cold atomic sample for atom-based quantum sensors such as quantum gravimeters and accelerometers.

Bogolon-mediated light absorption in atomic condensates of different dimensionality

Dogyun Ko, Meng Juan Sun, V. M. Kovalev +1 more

In the case of structureless bosons, cooled down to low temperatures, the absorption of electromagnetic waves by their Bose-Einstein condensate is usually forbidden due to the momentum and energy conservation laws: the phase velocity of the collective modes of the condensate called bogolons is sufficiently lower than the speed of light. Thus, only the light scattering processes persist. However, the situation might be different in the case of composite bosons or the bosons with an internal structure. Here, we develop a microscopic theory of electromagnetic power absorption by a Bose-Einstein condensates of cold atoms in various dimensions, utilizing the Bogoliubov model of a weakly-interacting Bose gas. Thus, we address the transitions between a collective coherent state of bosons and the discrete energy levels corresponding to excited internal degrees of freedom of non-condensed individual bosons. It is shown, that such transitions are mediated by one and two-bogolon excitations above the condensate, which demonstrate different efficiency at different frequencies and strongly depend on the condensate density, which influence varies depending on the dimensionality of the system.

Cavity-enhanced superradiant Rayleigh scattering with ultracold and Bose-Einstein condensed atoms

Sebastian Slama, Gordon Krenz, Simone Bux +2 more

We report on the observation of collective atomic recoil lasing and superradiant Rayleigh scattering with ultracold and Bose-Einstein condensed atoms in an optical ring cavity. Both phenomena are based on instabilities evoked by the collective interaction of light with cold atomic gases. This publication clarifies the link between the two effects. The observation of superradiant behavior with thermal clouds as hot as several tens of $\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{K}$ proves that the phenomena are driven by the cooperative dynamics of the atoms, which is strongly enhanced by the presence of the ring cavity.
