Session KP01 - Poster Session III.
POSTER session, Tuesday afternoon, March 23
Exhibit Hall, GWCC
We study the signatures of fermi degeneracy as well as the BCS superfluidity of a degenerate fermi gas using the strong light scattering technique developed for bosons in Ref. (L. You, M. Lewenstein, and J. Cooper, Phys. Rev. A 51), 4712 (1995).
In our model, we consider a degenerate fermi gas confined in a three dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator. Intense short laser pulses causes coherent Rabi oscillations of the degenerate gas. Atomic spontaneous emissions during the driving pulse is calculated perturbatively. The properties of the scattered light such as the angular distribution, coherence and total intensity reflects the the degree of degeneracy of the gas, i.e. its temperature.
