Co--propagating Bose--Einstein Condensates and electromagnetic radiation: Emission of mutually localized structures

TL;DR

This paper investigates how coherent electromagnetic radiation interacts with a Bose-Einstein condensate, leading to the emission of solitary wave packets and the formation of mutually localized atom-laser structures using a semi-classical model.

Contribution

It introduces a semi-classical framework that accounts for back action, revealing the emission of solitary-like waves during the formation of localized atom-laser structures.

Findings

Emission of solitary-like wave packets observed

Mutually localized atom-laser structures can form

Back action of atoms on radiation is significant

Abstract

Using a semi-classical model to describe the interaction between coherent electromagnetic radiation and a Bose-Einstein condensate in the limit of zero temperature, including the back action of the atoms on the radiation, we have analyzed the phenomenon of emission of solitary-like wave packets which can accompany the formation of mutually localized atom-laser structures.
