TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the ability to coherently control ultracold atomic Rb collisions using frequency-chirped light on the nanosecond time scale, and demonstrate that for certain center frequencies of the chirp, the rate of inelastic trap-loss collisions induced by negatively chirped energy is dramatically suppressed compared to the case of a positive energy.

TL;DR: The residual phase modulation of a waveguide-based Mach-Zehnder electro-optical intensity modulator is characterized and it is shown that this chirp can be largely compensated with a separate phase modulator.

TL;DR: In this article, the residual phase modulation of a fiber-based Mach-Zehnder electro-optical intensity modulator is characterized using a heterodyne technique, which is used to directly measure the phase change due to a given change in intensity, thereby determining the chirp parameter of the device.

TL;DR: In this article, the output from a diode laser is sent through a fiber-optical delay line containing a fiberbased electrooptical phase modulator, and the phase-modulated pulse is used to injection-lock the laser.

TL;DR: In this paper, coherent control of ultracold trap-loss collisions using 40-ns pulses of nonlinearly frequency-chirped light was studied. But the results were limited to the case of concave-down shape.
