摘要: Abstract We enhance the evanescent light field for funneling cold atoms by surface-plasmon resonance. When a 780.2-nm beam is incident on glass–gold interface from glass side at an angle of 44.6°, intensity rises 14.4-fold p-polarization and 7.2-fold circular polarization compared to case with total-internal reflection. Then, we evaluate flux resultant Rb atomic three funnel shapes cone, quadrangular pyramid, triangular pyramid. Monte Carlo simulations show that exceeds 1 atom / nm 2 s when outlet diameter smaller than 10 μ m . In particular, conical yields highest polarization. Also, there optimal outside hollow generating given power. A prototype fabricated 3D printer.
