We measure the axial momentum distribution of Bose-Einstein condensates with an aspect ratio of 152 using Bragg spectroscopy. We observe the Lorentzian momentum distribution characteristic of one-dimensional phase fluctuations. The temperature dependence of the width of this distribution provides a quantitative test of quasicondensate theory. In addition, we observe a condensate length consistent with the suppression of density fluctuations, even when phase fluctuations are large.
我们使用布拉格光谱法测量了长宽比为152的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体的轴向动量分布。我们观察到了一维相位涨落所特有的洛伦兹动量分布特征。这种分布宽度的温度依赖性为准凝聚体理论提供了定量检验。此外,即使相位涨落很大,我们也观察到了与密度涨落抑制相一致的凝聚体长度。
