Abstract
Proposals to measure the photon number in an optical cavity via atomic beam diffraction rely on the fact that the dipole force acting on the atoms in the cavity depends on the intensity of the light and hence on the number of photons in the cavity. Thus, the diffraction pattern contains information on the photon number.1
