Wide Optical Lenses for Atomic Beams

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The field of atom-optics offers considerable potential in fundamental and applied physics, both for imaging atoms and their deposition (to create nano-structures) [1]. Since Ashkin's group's work in 1978 [2], many techniques to focus or concentrate atomic beams have been tried: transmission gratings, holographic reflection-gratings, electro-static lenses, magnetic lenses or mirrors, nano-apertures and optical setups, relying on the dipole force [1]. These approaches suffer from various shortcomings. A common problem is the lack of wide lenses with large numerical apertures.
