Phys. Rev. A 70, 061604(R) (2004) [4 pages]Atom diode: A laser device for a unidirectional transmission of ground-state atoms
An atom diode, i.e., a device that lets the ground-state atom pass in one direction but not in the opposite direction in a velocity range, is devised. It is based on the adiabatic transfer achieved with two lasers and a third laser potential that reflects the ground state. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
