Abstract
We demonstrate strong focusing and defocusing of a sodium atomic beam using the transverse resonance-radiation pressure of a superimposed cw dye laser beam tuned near the atomic resonance. Focal spot diameters of about 60 μm and a 30-fold increase of the on-axis atomic beam intensity have been obtained. For defocusing, the on-axis intensity can be reduced to less than 10−2 of its original value.
