Probing Phase Fluctuations in a 2D Degenerate Bose Gas by Free Expansion

Jae-yoon Choi, Sang Won Seo, Woo Jin Kwon +1 more

We measure the power spectrum of the density distribution of a freely expanding two-dimensional (2D) degenerate Bose gas, where irregular density modulations gradually develop due to initial phase fluctuations in the sample. The spectrum has an oscillatory shape, where the peak positions are found to be independent of temperature and show scaling behavior in the course of expansion. The relative intensity of phase fluctuations is estimated from the normalized spectral peak strength and observed to decrease at lower temperatures, confirming the thermal nature of the phase fluctuations. We investigate the relaxation dynamics of nonequilibrium states using the power spectrum. Free vortices are observed with ring-shaped density ripples in a perturbed sample after a long relaxation time.

Scaling behavior of density fluctuations in an expanding quasi-two-dimensional degenerate Bose gas

Sang Won Seo, Jae-yoon Choi, Yong-il Shin

We measure the power spectrum of density fluctuations emerging in a freely expanding quasi-two-dimensional (2D) degenerate Bose gas, and we investigate the scaling behavior of the spectrum for the expansion time. The power spectrum shows an oscillatory shape for long expansion times, where the spectral peak positions are observed to be shifted to lower spatial frequencies than the theoretical prediction for a noninteracting expansion case. We find the spectral peak positions in good agreement with the recent numerical simulation presented by Mazets [Phys. Rev. A 86, 055603 (2012)], where the atom-atom interactions are taken into account. We present a mean-field description of the interaction effect in the expansion dynamics and quantitatively account for the observed spectral peak shifts. The spectral shift is intrinsic to the free expansion of a quasi-2D Bose gas due to finite axial confinement. Finally, we investigate the defocusing effect in the power spectrum measurement.
