Diffraction-contrast imaging of cold atoms release_owklwfmnnbdjjfnwuztvy73cue

Abstract

We consider the inverse problem of in-line holography, applied to minimally-destructive imaging of cold atom clouds. Absorption imaging near-resonance provides a simple, but destructive measurement of atom column density. Imaging off resonance greatly reduces heating, and sequential images may be taken. Under the conditions required for off-resonant imaging, the generally-intractable inverse problem may be linearized. A minimally-destructive, quantitative and high-resolution image of the atom cloud column density is then retrieved from a single diffraction pattern.
