An atomic Fabry-Perot interferometer using a pulsed interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (2001.05206v2)

Published 15 Jan 2020 in physics.atom-ph and quant-ph

Abstract: We numerically demonstrate atomic Fabry-Perot resonances for a pulsed interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) source transmitting through double Gaussian barriers. These resonances are observable for an experimentally-feasible parameter choice, which we determined using a previously-developed analytical model for a plane matter-wave incident on a double rectangular barrier system. By simulating an effective one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we investigate the effect of atom number, scattering length, and BEC momentum width on the resonant transmission peaks. For ${85}$Rb atomic sources with the current experimentally-achievable momentum width of $0.02 \hbar k_0$ [$k_0 = 2\pi/(780~\text{nm})$], we show that reasonably high contrast Fabry-Perot resonant transmission peaks can be observed using a) non-interacting BECs of $105$ atoms, b) interacting BECs of $105$ atoms with $s$-wave scattering lengths $a_s=\pm 0.1a_0$ [$a_0$ is the Bohr radius], and c) interacting BECs of $103$ atoms with $a_s=\pm 1.0a_0$. Our theoretical investigation impacts any future experimental realisation of an atomic Fabry-Perot interferometer with an ultracold atomic source.
