Abstract
At the end of the millennium a continuous wave (cw) pumped atom laser remains to be experimentally demonstrated. The prototype atom lasers that have been operated have used rapidly pulsed or continuous output coupling, but lacked pumping of the trapped atom laser mode [1],[2], as is needed for a cw laser system. Indeed, apart from simple rate equation descriptions, existing theoretical models do not incorporate both pumping of the laser mode and propagation of the out-coupled beam.
