Dependence of unbinding dynamics on pulse amplitude. a Integrated spatial density distribution after application of a near-resonant 480 Hz pulse with τ = 3.76 ms and ϕ = 0 followed by 2 ms time of flight, versus pulse amplitude A. b–e Integrated spatial density distribution versus time during pulses with the indicated amplitude. Panels d and e have an expanded y-axis (indicated at right) to track the unbound atoms. Note the momentum of the unbound atoms changing sign as the pulse amplitude increases
