Collective excitations of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of a 1D optical lattice.
We study low-lying collective modes of an elongated 87Rb condensate produced in a 3D magnetic harmonic trap with the addition of a 1D periodic potential which is provided by a laser standing wave along the axial direction. While the transverse breathing mode remains unperturbed, quadrupole and dipole oscillations along the optical lattice are strongly modified. Precise measurements of the colle...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation into nonequilibrium States studied by condensate focusing.
We report the formation of Bose-Einstein condensates into nonequilibrium states. Our condensates are much longer than equilibrium condensates with the same number of atoms, show strong phase fluctuations, and have a dynamical evolution similar to that of quadrupole shape oscillations of regular condensates. The condensates emerge in elongated traps as the result of local thermalization when the...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 2 Transverse modes of a cigar - shaped Bose - Einstein condensate
We discuss the collective modes in a harmonically trapped, highly-elongated Bose condensed gas. The transverse breathing mode exhibits a number of interesting features, such as the insensitivity of the condensate mode frequency to the interaction strength, and the closeness of the frequency to that of the non-condensed thermal cloud in the collisionless limit. Using finite temperature simulatio...
متن کاملCollisionless and Hydrodynamic Excitations of a Bose-Einstein Condensate
Collective excitations of a dilute Bose gas were probed above and below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature. The temperature dependencies of the frequency and damping rates of condensate oscillations indicate significant interactions between the condensate and the thermal cloud. Hydrodynamic oscillations of the thermal cloud analogous to first sound were observed. An outof-phase dipolar ...
متن کاملDamping in dilute Bose gases: a mean-field approach
Damping in a dilute Bose gas is investigated using a mean-field approximation which describes the coupled oscillations of condensate and non-condensate atoms in the collisionless regime. Explicit results for both Landau and Beliaev damping rates are given for non-uniform gases. In the case of uniform systems we obtain results for the damping of phonons both at zero and finite temperature. The i...
