The production of ultrabright atomic beams using laser cooling

Abstract

Well collimated high intesnity atom beams are important in many areas of atomic physics. We use laser radiation pressure to sequentially collimate, slow and compress a beam of metastable helium atoms. The resulting slow atomic beam has a high density and low divergence.
