Cold atom dynamics in crossed laser beam waveguides
arXiv:1003.4594 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.82.043420
Abstract
We study the dynamics of neutral cold atoms in an -shaped crossed-beam optical waveguide formed by two perpendicular red-detuned lasers of different intensities and a blue-detuned laser at the corner. Complemented with a vibrational cooling process this setting works as a one-way device or "atom diode".
