  • Abstract
    The system is described using a set of coupled Maxwell-Gross-Pitaevskii equations which describe the evolution of the condensate under the influence of optically-induced forces, coupled with the evolution of the optical fields driven by the condensate. New results obtained using this model including the effect of the wave-like nature of the atoms and atom-atom collisions on the CARL (collective atomic recoil laser) instability are presented.
