Abstract

The interaction of a beam of two level atoms with a standing wave laser light field has been the subject of extensive investigation in recent times. A standing wave perpendicular to an atomic beam enables the manipulation of the transverse velocity distribution. We have developed a numerical model using a continued fraction solution for the light pressure forces1 to simulate the interaction of an atomic beam with a strong laser field. Using this model, the behaviour of the atoms with small transverse velocity (kv1 « Γ) in a strong standing laser field has been systematically investigated.2
