Partially coherent matter wave and its evolution
The evolution and propagation of a partially coherent matter wave (PCMW) is investigated theoretically by the correlation function method. The ABCD matrix formalism previously used for a fully coherent matter wave is extended to the PCMW domain. A new ABCD law is derived, using a tensor method to describe the evolution of a PCMW. An analytical solution of the first-order correlation function is...
متن کاملCoherent matter wave transport in speckle potentials
This paper studies multiple scattering of matter waves by a disordered optical potential in two and in three dimensions. We calculate fundamental transport quantities such as the scattering mean free path s, the Boltzmann transport mean free path B, and the Boltzmann diffusion constant DB, using a diagrammatic Green functions approach in the weak-scattering regime. Coherent multiple scattering ...
متن کاملGeneralized dressing method for nonlinear evolution equations describing partially coherent wave propagation in noninstantaneous Kerr media.
A generalized dressing method is presented for integration of the nonlinear evolution equation of the coherent density function describing partially coherent wave propagation in a noninstantaneous Kerr media. As an example an exact, partially coherent multisource N-soliton solution is derived. It is also demonstrated how this method is applicable for construction of solutions to the equivalent ...
متن کاملEvolution of singularities in a partially coherent vortex beam.
We study the evolution of phase singularities and coherence singularities in a Laguerre-Gauss beam that is rendered partially coherent by letting it pass through a spatial light modulator. The original beam has an on-axis minumum of intensity--a phase singularity--that transforms into a maximum of the far-field intensity. In contrast, although the original beam has no coherence singularities, s...
متن کاملCoherent matter wave inertial sensors for precision measurements in space
We analyze the advantages of using ultra-cold coherent sources of atoms for matter-wave interferometry in space. We present a proof-of-principle experiment that is based on an analysis of the results previously published in [1] from which we extract the ratio h/m for 87 Rb. This measurement shows that a limitation in accuracy arises due to atomic interactions within the Bose-Einstein condensate...
