The density broadening in a condensate detected by a pulse train
POSTER
Abstract
High resolution microwave spectroscopy has been used to detect the density broadening in a Bose Einstein Condensate (BEC) by probing the Sodium clock-transition. Rabi line shape is generated by a single pulse and Ramsey fringes are produced by two pulses. Here we measured the density broadening by multiple pulses. Moreover, by narrowing the pulse-width of the pulses, the collisional broadening can be partially reduced. Furthermore, this multipulse technique can be calculated by exactly solving the time-dependent two-level Schrodinger equations. And the experimental results are compared with the calculations.
