The first pumped atom laser

光学激光器作为相干光波的来源，推动了光子科学技术的发展。最近实现了一种新的超冷态物质--玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体--这导致了原子激光器原型的诞生。这些是用于下一代量子光子学和原子光学的相干物质波源。现有的原型类似于一台被关闭的光学激光器，原子源很快就会耗尽。这个实验项目致力于开发和建造真正连续泵浦的原子激光器。

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.
