Output coupling of a Bose-Einstein condensate formed in a TOP trap
Output coupling of a Bose-Einstein condensate formed in a TOP trap
Two distinct mechanisms are investigated for transferring a pure 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate in the F = 2, mF = 2 state into a mixture of condensates in all the mF states within the F = 2 manifold. Some of these condensates remain trapped whilst others are output coupled in the …
