Abstract

This invention relates to improved techniques for magneto-optical (and / or electro- optical) manipulation of an atomic beam. A method of magneto-optical and/or electro-optical manipulation of an atomic beam, the method comprising: providing an optical beam, said optical beam having a frequency which is off-resonance for atoms of said atomic beam; controlling said optical beam to define a transverse intensity distribution in a region of said beam; arranging said atomic beam to pass through said optical beam region; controlling one or both of a magnetic field and an electric field in said optical beam region such that atoms of said atomic beam pass through said region substantially adiabatieally; and manipulating said atomic beam by adjusting one or both of said transverse intensity distribution and said field to pattern said beam.
