Abstract

The density profiles of trapped two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) and its microscopic interaction with Laguerre Gaussian (LG) beam are studied. We consider the 87^{87}Rb BEC in two hyperfine spin components. The wavelength of the LG beam is assumed to be comparable to the atomic de-Broglie wavelength. Competitions between intra- and inter-component interactions produce interesting density structures of the ground state of BEC. We demonstrate vortex-antivortex interference and its dependence on the inter-component interactions and Raman transitions.
