Optical Stern Gerlach Effect beyond the rotating wave approximation

Abstract

We show that the inclusion of counter rotating terms, usually dropped, in the interaction Hamiltonian of the electric dipole of a two level atom with an electromagnetic field leads to significant modification of the splitting of an atomic beam known as Optical Stern Gerlach Effect which now acquires a fine structure.
