Abstract
Deflection of an inverted two-state atom by a standing-wave cavity vacuum is analyzed. It is shown that clean vacuum Rabi oscillations occur at a frequency of ${g}_{0}/2$ between the initial atom-field state and the state with the atomic transverse momentum displaced by $\ensuremath{\Elzxh}k$ if the cavity is tuned to the Doppler shift associated with the atomic motion along the cavity axis, given that the shift is much larger than the optimum atom-cavity coupling constant ${g}_{0}.$ Consequently, the atom can be deflected by the cavity, the direction of which is precisely controlled by the atom-cavity detuning.
