Abstract
In this paper we present an atom laser scheme using a Raman transition for the output coupling of atoms. A beam of thermal atoms (bosons) in a metastable atomic state $|1 >$ are pumped into a multimode atomic cavity. This cavity is coupled through spontaneous emission to a single mode of another cavity for the ground atomic state, $|2 >$. Above a certain threshold pumping rate a large number of atoms, $N_2$, builds up in this single quantum state and transitions to the ground state of the cavity become enhanced by a factor $(N_2 + 1)$. Atoms in this state are then coupled to the outside of the cavity with a Raman transition. This changes the internal state of the atom and imparts a momentum kick, allowing the atoms to leave the system.
