Outcoupling vector solitons from a Bose-Einstein condensate with time-dependent interatomic forces

Abstract

We discuss the possibility of emitting vector solitons from a two-component elongated BEC by manipulating in time the inter- or intra-species scattering lengths with Feshbach resonance tuning. We present different situations which do not have an analogue in the single species case. In particular, we show vector soliton out-coupling by tuning the interspecies forces, how the evolution in one species is controlled by tuning the dynamics of the other, and how one can implement the so-called supersolitons. The analysis is performed by numerical simulations of the one-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Simple analytic arguments are also presented in order to give a qualitative insight.
