Mode density of orbital angular momentum modes in a cylindrical cavity and in free space

In this short note we derive an approximate expression for the mode density of modes carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) in a cylindrical cavity which is large compared to the inverse wavevector in any direction. We argue that in the large cavity limit the modes asymptotically converges to the corresponding OAM modes in free space. We compare the result to Weyl's law. It is found, as expected, that the mode density does not depend on whether or not the modes carry OAM.

Absorption Imaging of Ultracold Atoms on Atom Chips

Imaging ultracold atomic gases close to surfaces is an important tool for the detailed analysis of experiments carried out using atom chips. We describe the critical factors that need be considered, especially when the imaging beam is purposely reflected from the surface. In particular we present methods to measure the atom-surface distance, which is a prerequisite for magnetic field imaging and studies of atom surface-interactions.

Multi Mode Interferometer for Guided Matter Waves

We describe the fundamental features of an interferometer for guided matter waves based on Y-beam splitters and show that, in a quasi two-dimensional regime, such a device exhibits high contrast fringes even in a multi mode regime and fed from a thermal source.
