A quasi-monomode guided atom laser from an all-optical Bose-Einstein condensate
A quasi-monomode guided atom laser from an all-optical Bose-Einstein condensate
We report the achievement of an optically guided and quasi-monomode atom laser, in all spin projection states (mF=-1, 0 and +1) of F=1 in rubidium 87. The atom laser source is a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a crossed dipole trap, purified to any one spin projection state by a spin-distillation …
