提出了一种产生全光型表面原子(分子)漏斗的新方案.采用红失谐高斯激光束照明由柱面透镜组成的光学系统,可在透镜焦平面附近产生横向漏斗形光强分布,以构成一表面光波导型原子漏斗.计算了漏斗的光强分布及其光学偶极势与偶极力分布.研究结果表明:该原子漏斗可用于冷原子(分子)的表面光波导、分束器和干涉仪以及微阱囚禁的有效装载,因而在集成原子光学及其原子芯片的研究中有着重要的应用.
We propose a novel scheme to build an all-optical surface atomic (or molecular) funnel using an optical system consisting of three cylindrical lenses, which can be used to produce a funnel-shaped intensity distribution near the focal plane of the last lens when the optical system is illuminated by a red-detuned Gaussian laser beam. We calculate the corresponding intensity distribution, the optical dipole potential and its dipole force for 23 Na atoms. Our study shows that the proposed atom (or molecular) funnel can be used for the efficient loading of cold atoms in the surface optical guid, beam splitter and interferometer and surface microtrap, and so on. So our funnel has important applications in the integrated atom optics and its atom chip.
