Abstract :
Atomic soliton lasers are coherent matter-wave emitters that produce localized pulses of atoms that are extracted from an ultracold atomic reservoir. In adequate conditions it is possible to obtain matter-wave soliton trains that propagate undistorted, a property that makes them very useful for ultra-sensitive measurements like gravity-waves detection or atomic interferometry. Some new applications and results will we presented.
