MODULATION INSTABILITY IN TWO COMPONENT BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATE WITH RELATIVE COMPONENT MOTION

Abstract

The development of modulation instability in a spatially homogeneous two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in which the interacting components move through each other at a relative speed, is investigated. It is shown that nonlinear dynamics, leading to modulation instability, is determined by both the values of the constant interaction and the relative velocity between the components. The maximum oscillation increment is found and the limits of the existence of modulation instability in the space of wave numbers are determined.

Modulation Instability in Two Component Bose-Einstein Condensate with Dissipation

A. P. Ivashin, Elena Marinenko

In this paper, we consider the dynamic evolution of a binary mixture of a Bose-Einstein condensate taking into account the presence of dissipation inside the components. Using the introduction of the dissipative function, the modified Gross-Pitaevskii equations are obtained. These equations, in contrast to the usual Gross-Pitaevskii equations for two-component condensate, allow us to take into account the dissipation in the system. The influence of dissipative processes on the development of modulation instability in a spatially homogeneous two-component Bose-Einstein condensate is investigated. In contrast to the one-component Bose-Einstein condensate, in which modulation instability arises only when there are forces of attraction between atoms, in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate nonlinear dynamics, leading to modulation instability is more complex. It essentially depends on the signs and values of the constant interaction of the components, which leads to a greater variety of possible scenarios for the development of modulation instability. The paper considers two cases. The first case is when repulsive forces act inside the components, and the second is when repulsive forces act in the first component, and in the second one - attractive forces. At the same time, the situation when there is a repulsion in the first component, and attraction between the particles in the second component differs significantly from the case of only positive interaction inside the components. The relations between the interaction constants that determine the development of the modulation instability turn out to be different. Given the relations between the interaction constants, taking into account dissipation processes, the occurrence of modulation instability in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates was studied, the maximum growth rate of oscillations was found, and the limits of the existence of modulation instability in the space of wave numbers were found. It is shown that the small effect of dissipation on the modulation instability in the Bose – Einstein condensate is explained not only by the smallness of the friction forces. For wave vectors corresponding to a mode with a maximum increment, the contribution of dissipation in the linear approximation with respect to the dissipative parameter is strictly zero. Thus, the condition for the development of the most rapidly growing mode of oscillations, which determines the beginning of the modulation instability, remains the same as in the nondissipative case.

Modulational Instability of Trapped Two-Component Bose–Einstein Condensates*

Jian-Wen Zhou, X. X. Li, Rui Gao +4 more

Abstract The modulational instability of two-component Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) under an external parabolic potential is discussed. Based on the trapped two-component Gross–Pitaevskill equations, a time-dependent dispersion relation is obtained analytically by means of the modified lens-type transformation and linear stability analysis. It is shown that a modulational unstable time scale exists for trapped two-component BECs. The modulational properties—which are determined by the wave number, external trapping parameter, intra- and inter-species atomic interactions—are modified significantly. The analytical results are confirmed by direct numerical simulation. Our results provide a criterion for judging the occurrence of instability of the trapped two-component BECs in experiment.

Modulation instability and solitary-wave formation in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Kenichi Kasamatsu, Makoto Tsubota

We investigate nonlinear dynamics induced by the modulation instability of a two-component mixture in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. The nonlinear dynamics is examined using numerical simulations of the time-dependent coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations. The unstable modulation grows from initially miscible condensates into various types of vector solitary waves, depending on the combinations of the sign of the coupling constants (intracomponent and intercomponent). We discuss the detailed features of the modulation instability, dynamics of solitary wave formation, and an analogy with the collapsing dynamics in a single-component condensate with attractive interactions.

Modulation instability associated nonlinear dynamics of spin–orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensates *

Thudiyangal Mithun, Kenichi Kasamatsu

Abstract We study pattern-forming nonlinear dynamics starting from a continuous wave state of quasi-one-dimensional two-component Bose–Einstein condensates with synthetic spin–orbit coupling induced by Raman lasers. Modulation instability (MI) can occur even when the miscibility condition due to the interatomic interactions is satisfied. We find that the initial stage of the nonlinear development is consistent with the prediction of MI, where the two primary and secondary instability bands lead to the spontaneous growth of the modulation and the subsequent complicated dynamics of pattern formation. At later stages of the evolution, the wave functions undergo clear separation in the momentum space, reflected in the dispersion of the single particle Hamiltonian.

Modulational instability of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice

Guangri Jin, Chul Koo Kim, Kyun Nahm

We study modulational instability of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice, which is modeled as a coupled discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger (DNLS) equation. The excitation spectrum and the modulational instability condition of the total system are presented analytically. In the long-wavelength limit, our results agree with the homogeneous two-component Bose-Einstein condensates case. The discreteness effects result in the appearance of the modulational instability for the condensates in miscible region. The numerical calculations confirm our analytical results and show that the interspecies coupling can transfer the instability from one component to another.

Counterflow induced modulational instability in miscible, two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

Mark A. Hoefer, Chris Hamner, Peter Engels

Washington State University, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Pullman, Washington 99164, USA(Dated: July 29, 2010)Modulational instability (MI) due to relative motion of two superfluids is found for a miscible,binary Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). For sufficiently large relative speeds of the BEC compo-nents, we experimentally observe the onset of counterflow induced MI leading to the proliferationof dark-dark vector solitons which can experience a transverse (snake) instability. This is in con-trast to nonlinear self-steepening and intercomponent shock formation previously observed at lowcounterflow speeds. Our experimental results are complemented by a linear stability analysis andby multi-dimensional numerical simulations that reveal an intriguing dynamical richness of the su-perfluid counterflow.
