Ultraslow Light & Bose-Einstein Condensates: Two-Way Control with Coherent Light & Atom Fields. Optics and Photonics News 16(5): 30-34.1047-6938http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:3636964Ultraslow light has been used to form dramatic new nonlinear excitations in superfluid Bose-Einstein condensates of laser-cooled alkali atoms, and to create pulsed coherent matter waves. We describe these phenomena and a novel single-atom detector for use in studying the waves' coherence properties.en-USJournal Article10.1364/OPN.16.5.000030
