From single to many atoms in a microscopic optical dipole trap
This thesis focuses on the manipulation of rubidium 87 atoms in a microscopic optical dipole trap. The experiments are performed in various regimes where the number of... -
Light scattering in dense mesoscopic cold atomic clouds
When several atoms are placed close to each other, the resonant dipole-dipole interactionbetween atoms modifies the atomic properties and atoms behave collectively....
