Description
After a motivation why it is interesting to study cold
atomic gases confined inside optical cavities, I will
present a short summary of the experimental achievements up
to date. I proceed by outlining the effective equations of
motions, being nonlinear due to the intrinsic atom-field
interaction, and discuss theoretical predictions that derive
from them. I will focus on works that I have been involved
in; optical bistability, Mott insulator states,
collapse-revivals, and nonlinear dispersions.
