Optical lasers, the source of coherent light waves, have enabled the development of photonic science and technology. Recent realization of a new ultra-cold state of matter - a Bose-Einstein condensate - has led to the creation of prototype atom lasers. These are sources of coherent waves of matter for next generation quantum photonics and atom optics. The existing prototypes are analogous to an optical laser that has been turned off, with the atoms source quickly draining. This experimental project is devoted to the development and construction of a truly continuous pumped atom laser.

光学激光器作为相干光波的光源，使光子科学和技术得以发展。 最近对一种新的超冷物质状态--玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚态--的认识导致了原子激光器原型的诞生。 这些是下一代量子光子学和原子光学的物质相干波的来源。 现有的原型类似于已经关闭的光学激光器，原子源迅速耗尽。 该实验项目致力于发展和建造真正连续泵浦的原子激光器。
