Abstract

We have experimentally studied and numerically simulated the behavior of cold atomic clouds and Bose-Einstein condensates passing through a far red-detuned Gaussian beam. Several exotic phenomena such as the focusing and advancement of atomic clouds have been exhibited. The cooling effect and the effective interaction length of the dipole potential to the atoms have also been discussed.
