Sculpting the vortex state of a spinor BEC.
We use Raman-detuned laser pulses to achieve spatially varying control of the amplitude and phase of the spinor order parameter of a Bose-Einstein condensate. We present experimental results confirming precise radial and azimuthal control of amplitude and phase during the creation of vortex-antivortex superposition states.
