Phase winding a BEC into a soliton train
POSTER
Abstract
We present an experimental investigation studying the phase winding of a two spin component Bose-Einstein Condensate in an elongated optical dipole trap. The winding is generated by performing~near resonant Rabi oscillations in the presence of a weak magnetic gradient. We investigate the winding dynamics and experimentally show that the resulting spin domains can be converted into trains of filled solitons.
