She reported a value of 43(1.5) µm.  In the following two paragraphs, we give two protocols to measure the waist. We find a value of 42.5(3) and 41(1) in agreement with Bonneau's measurement.\n\n\n*Protocol*: we load a dipole trap and decrease the power up to a final value. Because of gravity, when the power of the beam decrease, the minimum of the total potential is shifted down. Here, we decrease the power of the laser beam, let the cloud expand for 1 ms and take a snapshot (emission imaging). We then adjust the density profile of the cloud with a Gaussian function to obtain its position.\\\n*Results:* On the left panel of [](#waist_verti_fig), the vertical position of the cloud is plotted as a function of the vertical beam power. The experimental points are fine-tuned by a waist of 42.5(3)µm which is in agreement with the expected waist.\n\n```{figure} images/waist_vertical.png\n:name: waist_verti_fig\n:alt: Measuring the waist of the vertical beam.\n:align: center\n:width: 100%\nMeasure of the waist by two different methods. Left: a snapshot of the cloud for various power gives access to the *in situ* position of the cloud. Data taken of February (21/02/2022). Right: excitation frequency of the breathing mode as a function of the laser power. Experimental points were extracted from various day, ranging from February 2022 to May 2024.\n```\n\n*Protocol:* The parametric excitation method consists of modulating the intensity of the dipole trap at a given frequency. When the frequency of excitation is equal to twice the transverse frequency, the breathing mode is excited [@chevy_transverse_2002]. When the excitation amplitude is quite high: typically a fraction of the final power,  the system is excited in a quite a \"violent\" way, heating occurs and the width of the detected cloud is increased [@lopes_atomic_2014]. We expect also to detect fewer atoms. However, we sometime detect more atoms at resonance: this is due to the fact that the width of the BEC increased. The atomic flux is therefore lower, which increases the *detected* atom number due to the saturation of the MCP. Note however that this breathing mode frequency is 2$\\omega_\\perp$ only for a elongated trap: in the case of a spherical trap, its frequency is $\\sqrt{5}\\omega$ [@stringari_dynamics_1998]. \\\n*Results:* the excitation frequency is plotted as a function of the vertical power on the right panel of [](#waist_verti_fig). We adjust this curve with a theoretical waist of 41(1) µm which differs slightly from the expected waist. Note however that the experimental points that are reported here were extracted from different days (over a year and a half) and measured in different conditions (four different days). The power of the trap was not always really well calibrated due to a defective power-meter and a photodiode drift that was fixed recently.\n\n\n\n**The waist of the horizontal beam** was measured optically by two methods by @perrier_interferences_2020 who reported 107(3) µm and 110(4) µm. We can recover this value by measuring the trap frequency for several powers: we then adjust the theoretical curve with the waist as a free parameter. The trap frequency is measure by exciting the cloud in the first collective oscillation of the BEC [@stringari_collective_1996].  \\\n*Procedure:* we produce a BEC in the cross dipole trap (400 mW, 30 mW) respectively for the vertical and horizontal trap beams. At $t=0$, we quench the horizontal beam power to a different power. We then hold the cloud in the trap for different durations. For each hold time, we record the arrival time of the cloud measuring the atomic flux on the MCP with an oscilloscope. Indeed, the horizontal laser beam is responsible for the vertical confinement. We observe the arrival time to oscillate as a function of the hold time in the trap as shown on the left panel of [](#odth_waist_fig). We fit the signal to get the frequency of the oscillation, which corresponds to the frequency of the trap. The measurement is repeated for different laser powers: [](#odth_waist_fig) shows the trap frequency as a function of the power of the laser. \\\n*Result:* We adjust the waist of the trap to coincide the experimental data with the theoretical curve. This gives a value of 108(2) µm for the waist of the horizontal beam. This value is consistent with the value reported by @perrier_interferences_2020. \n\n\n```{figure} images/theoretical_waist_horizontal.png\n:name: odth_waist_fig\n:alt: Measuring the waist of the vertical beam.\n:align: center\n:width: 100%\nMeasure of the waist of the horizontal beam. Left: after a quench, the BEC oscillates in the trap. Its arrival time exhibits the same oscillation frequency. Each symbols corresponds to a different laser trap. The line is a sine fit of the experimental data from which we extract the frequency of the trap, which is the same than the frequency of the atoms. Right: the trap frequency as a function of the laser power. The solid line is adjusted to the experimental data that gives a waist of 108(2) µm. \n``` \n","key":"bCo8PCmkMw"},{"type":"heading","depth":2,"position":{"start":{"line":84,"column":1},"end":{"line":84,"column":1}},"children":[{"type":"text","value":"Raman transfer","position":{"start":{"line":84,"column":1},"end":{"line":84,"column":1}},"key":"LZnDq4Pi8O"}],"identifier":"raman-transfer","label":"raman-transfer","html_id":"raman-transfer","enumerator":"2","key":"V1hvqTnI7A"},{"type":"paragraph","position":{"start":{"line":85,"column":1},"end":{"line":85,"column":1}},"children":[{"type":"text","value":"As mentioned earlier, the atoms must be polarized to decrease the inelastic ","position":{"start":{"line":85,"column":1},"end":{"line":85,"column":1}},"key":"YJOVDci0rs"},{"type":"crossReference","position":{"start":{"line":85,"column":1},"end":{"line":85,"column":1}},"children":[{"type":"text","value":"collision","position":{"start":{"line":85,"column":1},"end":{"line":85,"column":1}},"key":"cTJDlvKq9a"}],"identifier":"losses-section","label":"losses-section","kind":"heading","template":"{name}","resolved":true,"html_id":"losses-section","remote":true,"url":"/bec-mot","dataUrl":"/bec-mot.json","key":"u8La58Gjvf"},{"type":"text","value":" rate and obtain a Bose-Einstein condensate.
