Abstract
We developed a near-field optical deflector for precise direction control of atomic motion using a dipole force. The blue-detuned, near-field light used to deflect atoms was generated near the edge of a 100-nm-wide slit and had a spatial distribution of 126 nm at a distance of 10 nm from the top edge. The deflection angle for a Rb atom was a function of light intensity, frequency detuning, and atomic velocity.
