Interferometer-type structures for guided atoms
Interferometer-type structures for guided atoms
Interferometer-type guiding structures is demonstrated for neutral atoms based on dipole potentials created by micro-fabricated optical systems. As a central element, an array of atom waveguides is used, being formed by focusing a red-detuned laser beam with an array of cylindrical microlenses. Combining two of these arrays, X-shaped beam splitters …
