Abstract

We review the ideas of velocity-modifying an atomic beam by resonant scattering of intense light from a frequency-swept laser source. Some of the realistic parasitic effects, particularly fluctuations and residual transverse heating are considered. A computer Monte-Carlo simulation program is described which provides encouragement and insights useful in the design of a real atomic beam apparatus. We described a new rf/optical modulation method to generate the desired laser optical frequency and intensity profiles versus time. This digital method provides the necessary sweep accuracy and program flexibility in a convenient and powerful way.
