Diffuse reflection of a Bose–Einstein condensate from a rough evanescent wave mirror

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: We present experimental results showing the diffuse reflection of a Bose–Einstein condensate from a rough mirror, consisting of a dielectric substrate supporting a blue-detuned evanescent wave. The scattering is anisotropic, more pronounced in the direction of the surface propagation of the evanescent wave. These results agree very well with theoretical predictions.
