Cooling, Trapping and Manipulation of Neutral Atoms and Bose-Einstein Condensates by Electromagnetic Fields

Published

Author(s)

Kristian Helmerson, William D. Phillips

Abstract

We give a general discussion of the mechanical effects of light, and of laser cooling and trapping techniques. This is followed by a description of experiments in the laser manipulation of Bose-einstein condensates with optical laser pulses.
