We investigate the influence of atomic interactions on the tunnelling of sodium condensates across a spatially oscillating optical barrier. In the limit of very fast barrier oscillations, in which resonant tunnelling via a metastable state takes place, the interactions affect the position and lineshape of the transmission peak. We anticipate that the possibility of modulating the interactions in a tunnelling condensate can be exploited to achieve nonlinear effects such as optical limiting and bistability.

Abstract
We investigate the influence of atomic interactions on the tunnelling of sodium condensates across a spatially oscillating optical barrier. In the limit of very fast barrier oscillations, in which resonant tunnelling via a metastable state takes place, the interactions affect the position and lineshape of the transmission peak. We anticipate that the possibility of modulating the interactions in a tunnelling condensate can be exploited to achieve nonlinear effects such as optical limiting and bistability.File in questo prodotto:
