“…This technique is crucial for obtaining good fringe contrast with reasonable propagation distances. The same experimental technique was subsequently used by the same group to realize an amplitude hologram (Morinaga et al, 1996), a phase hologram (Fujita et al, 2000) and a reflecting hologram (Shimizu and Fujita, 2002b) for neon atoms.…”

We review experimental work on cold, trapped metastable noble gases. We emphasize the aspects which distinguish work with these atoms from the large body of work on cold, trapped atoms in general. These aspects include detection techniques and collision processes unique to metastable atoms. We describe several experiments exploiting these unique features in fields including atom optics and statistical physics. We also discuss precision measurements on these atoms including fine structure splittings, isotope shifts, and atomic lifetimes.

“…The spatial shape of the potential is given by the local light intensity pattern I͑x͒, which can be shaped with the near-and far-field optics for light, including holography.

Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated oscillatory fields technique used in atomic clocks. Atom interferometry is now reaching maturity as a powerful art with many applications in modern science. In this review the basic tools for coherent atom optics are described including diffraction by nanostructures and laser light, three-grating interferometers, and double wells on atom chips. Scientific advances in a broad range of fields that have resulted from the application of atom interferometers are reviewed. These are grouped in three categories: ͑i͒ fundamental quantum science, ͑ii͒ precision metrology, and ͑iii͒ atomic and molecular physics. Although some experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates are included, the focus of the review is on linear matter wave optics, i.e., phenomena where each single atom interferes with itself.

“…Eqs. (25) and (26) are able to explain this phenomenon, given Ω 1 = Ω 2 , |+ mode equally contributes to the reflected waves in states |1 and |2 . Another significant difference is that the lateral shift of transmitted wave in state |1 exhibits a giant negative peak at θ ≈ 38 • [ Fig.…”

“…Thanks to the rapid development of laser cooling and trapping technology, one can manipulate the ensemble of ultracold atoms for fundamental and applied investigation under straightforward laboratory conditions, for example, atom guiding [24], reflecting [25] and diffracting [26], resulting in these advancements in the field of the atom optics.…”

When a three-level atomic wavepacket is obliquely incident on a "medium slab" consisting of two far-detuned laser beams, there exists lateral shift between reflection and incident points at the surface of a "medium slab", analogous to optical Goos-Hänchen effect. We evaluate lateral shifts for reflected and transmitted waves via expansion of reflection and transmission coefficients, in contrast to the stationary phase method. Results show that lateral shifts can be either positive or negative dependent on the incident angle and the atomic internal state. Interestingly, a giant lateral shift of transmitted wave with high transmission probability is observed, which is helpful to observe such lateral shifts experimentally. Different from the two-level atomic wave case, we find that quantum interference between different atomic states plays crucial role on the transmission intensity and corresponding lateral shifts.
