We have observed phase defects in quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensates close to the condensation temperature. Either a single or several equally spaced condensates are produced by selectively evaporating the sites of a 1D optical lattice. When several clouds are released from the lattice and allowed to overlap, dislocation lines in the interference patterns reveal nontrivial phase defects.
我们在接近凝聚温度的准二维玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体中观测到了相位缺陷。通过选择性地蒸发一维光学晶格的位点,产生了单个或几个等间距的凝聚体。当从晶格中释放出几个云团并使其重叠时,干涉图案中的位错线揭示了非平凡的相位缺陷。
