Development of Near-Field-Light Lens for Nano-Focusing of Atoms

Abstract

The researchers made a near-field optical lens to focus Rb atoms on a nanometer spot by nanofabrication of a silicon-on-insulator wafer. They also fabricated a nano-slit to detect the focused atoms and numerically estimated the detection efficiency of Rb atoms.
