Description:
A continuous source of Bose-Einstein condensed sodium atoms was created by periodically replenishing a condensate held in an optical dipole trap with new condensates delivered using optical tweezers. The source contained more than 1 x 10(6) atoms at all times, raising the possibility of realizing a continuous atom laser.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chikkatur, A P -- Shin, Y -- Leanhardt, A E -- Kielpinski, D -- Tsikata, E -- Gustavson, T L -- Pritchard, D E -- Ketterle, W -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Jun 21;296(5576):2193-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physics, MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms, and Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. ananth@mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12077408" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
