Abstract
The theory of a compound, large-angle atom beam splitter [A. Zh. Muradyan, A. A. Poghosyan, and P. R. Berman, Phys. Rev. A 68, 033604 (2003)] is generalized to allow for initial-state deflection. Atoms are prepared in an initial state by an off-resonant standing-wave field and then subject to two-standing-wave fields that couple the initial state to a final state. By a proper choice of parameters, atoms in the initial state can be deflected or split as a result of the interactions with the fields. The role of relaxation is considered.
