The linewidth of a non-Markovian atom laser

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We present a fully quantum mechanical treatment of a single mode atom laser including pumping and output coupling. By ignoring atom-atom interactions, we have solved this model without making the Born-Markov approximation. We find substantially less gain narrowing than is predicted under that approximation.
