The deflection of a stream of two-level atoms by a standing-wave light field has been studied extensively, both experimentally and theoretically, because of its potential application in the building an atomic interferometer. Such an interferometer would have the atom de Broglie wavelength as its resolution limit rather than the light wavelength, as in conventional interferometers.
