Condensates Amplify and Slow Light

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Continuing investigations into the properties of Bose-Einstein condensates, a team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge has reported high gain and low group velocities in light injected into a dressed condensate. Previously, the researchers, who published their report in the Nov. 13, 2000, issue of Physical Review Letters, discovered that the condensates, which are illuminated with an off-resonance laser, amplify matter waves. At a probe intensity of 0.10 mW/cm2, the team observed optical gain of 2.8, the result of diffraction effects on the atoms in the dressed...Read full article
