Light incident on a Bose-condensed gas

Abstract

The coherent interaction of light with a Bose-condensed gas via atomic electric-dipole transitions produces strong mixing of photons and excited atoms. Consequent optical properties near resonance include substantial reflection from the edge of the gas.
