Evaporative production of bright atomic solitons

Evaporative production of bright atomic solitons

We describe a method of producing bright atomic solitons of 7Li through efficient radio frequency evaporation in a combined magnetic and optical trap. Solitons released in a magnetic waveguide propagate without dispersion, with lifetimes limited by two-body dipolar relaxation. We show how the method...

Zusammenfassung:We describe a method of producing bright atomic solitons of 7Li through efficient radio frequency evaporation in a combined magnetic and optical trap. Solitons released in a magnetic waveguide propagate without dispersion, with lifetimes limited by two-body dipolar relaxation. We show how the method can be used to deterministically produce pairs of solitons.
