| dc.description | We consider a possible technique for mode-locking an atom laser, based on the generation of a dark soliton in a ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate, with repulsive atomic interactions. The soliton is a kink, with angular momentum per particle equal to \hbar/2. It emerges naturally, when the condensate is stirred at the soliton velocity, and subsequently outcoupled with a periodic Raman pulse-train. The result is a replicating coherent field inside the atom laser. We give a numerical demonstration of the generation and stabilization of the soliton. | |
