Funded Activity Summary

The first pumped atom laser. Optical lasers, the source of coherent light waves, have enabled the development of photonic science and technology. Recent realization of a new ultra-cold state of matter - a Bose-Einstein condensate - has led to the creation of prototype atom lasers. These are sources of coherent waves of matter for next generation quantum photonics and atom optics. The existing prototypes are analogous to an optical laser that has been turned off, with the atoms source quickly draining. This experimental project is devoted to the development and construction of a truly continuous pumped atom laser.
