Atom Optics Applications Conference, 23-28 May 1999, Les Houches, France
Abstract
This is an interdisciplinary conference. Topics will focus on applications of atom manipulation with light forces for the purpose of creating new nanostructures and new instrumentation. An important component of the workshop will be to compare light force techniques with competing technologies to assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of each. Atom manipulation will be considered in two broad categories: (1) direct-write deposition of atoms on surfaces for the purpose of making functional structures at the nanoscale. These structures include sources of electrons and photons and position-sensitive sensors and gravity detectors. The precision and sensitivity inherent in matter-wave interferometry holds the potential for new generations gyros and other navigational sensors.
