Abstract
We analyze the coherent formation of molecular Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) from an atomic BEC, using a parametric field theory approach. We point out the transition between a quantum soliton regime, where atoms couple in a local way to a classical soliton domain, where a stable coupled-condensate soliton can form in three dimensions. This gives the possibility of an intense, stable atom-laser output.Keywords
