Guided Quasicontinuous Atom Laser
Guided Quasicontinuous Atom Laser
We report the first realization of a guided quasicontinuous atom laser by rf outcoupling a Bose-Einstein condensate from a hybrid optomagnetic trap into a horizontal atomic waveguide. This configuration allows us to cancel the acceleration due to gravity and keep the de Broglie wavelength constant at $0.5\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ during …
