Precision position measurement of moving atoms using optical fields. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We demonstrate optical techniques for precisely measuring the position of moving atoms. Micron spatial resolution is attained by the methods which ultimately will scale to yield nanometer resolution limited by the uncertainty principle. 1991 The American Physical Society.
