Abstract

* (doughnut) modes for atomic beam manipulation. A slow atomic beam is guided over up to 0.3 m and focused down to 6.5 μm radius. The doughnut mode is used as a strong mesoscopic dipole potential with vibrational level spacings up to the photon recoil energy. Polarization gradient cooling in this system generates a bimodal momentum distribution with a narrow component momentum width of 4 ?k.
