We present experimental and theoretical results on the measurements of the oscillation frequency in a dipole trap based on the spin current in a sodium spinor Bose–Einstein condensate. The spin current is induced under different magnetic field intensities. The oscillation of the spin components in the dipole trap is strongly enhanced by a radio frequency pulse. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that this method can be used to efficiently measure the trap frequencies. Since this mechanism is independent of atomic species, this study is promising to be extended to rubidium and other optical-trappable quantum gases.
