Ultracold Bose atoms in intense laser fields : intensity - and density - dependent effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting from the first principles of nonrelativistic QED we have derived the system of Maxwell-Schrödinger equations, which can be used for theoretical description of atom optical phenomena at high densities of atoms and high intensities of the laser radiation. The role of multiple atomic transitions between ground and excited states in atom optics has been investigated. Nonlinear optical properties of interacting Bose gas are studied: formula for the refractive index has been derived and the polariton spectrum of a condensate interacting with an intense laser field has been investigated.

Effects of intense laser pulse properties on wake field acceleration in magnetized plasma: Half-Sine Shape (HSS) and Gaussian Shape (GS) pulses
In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In ad...
متن کاملLocal-field approach to the interaction of an ultracold dense Bose gas with a light field
The propagation of the electromagnetic field of a laser through a dense Bose gas is examined and nonlinear operator equations for the motion of the center of mass of the atoms are derived. The goal is to present a self-consistent set of coupled Maxwell-Bloch equations for atomic and electromagnetic fields generalized to include the atomic center-of-mass motion. Two effects are considered: The u...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation of particle-hole pairs in ultracold fermionic atoms trapped within optical lattices.
We investigate the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC, superfluidity) of particle-hole pairs in ultracold fermionic atoms with repulsive interactions and arbitrary polarization, which are trapped within optical lattices. In the strongly repulsive limit, the dynamics of particle-hole pairs can be described by a hard-core Bose-Hubbard model. The insulator-superfluid and charge-density-wave- (CDW) su...
متن کاملLiquid-crystalline phases of ultracold atoms
When atoms move in a standing wave created by two counterpropagating laser beams, they experience a periodic potential. This potential arises because the electric field in the standing wave induces an electric dipole in the atoms, which in turn seek out the most intense regions of electric field. Atoms in optical lattice potentials can simulate a variety of condensed matter phenomena including,...
متن کاملOptical Feshbach Resonances in a Bose-Einstein Condensate
This thesis reports on the first observation of optical tuning of interactions in an ultracold atomic gas. To control the elastic interactions, we use optically induced scattering resonances. They are realized by coupling pairs of atoms to a bound molecular state with the help of laser light. In comparison to the well-known magnetic Feshbach resonances, these optical Feshbach resonances allow a...
