摘要
We have observed transfer of momentum and ground state population in laser-cooled cesium by adiabatic following of a slowly evolving Light field. In this new technique for mechanical manipulation of atoms, spontaneous emission is suppressed since the atoms evolve in a ''dark'' state that follows the light field. This means that the phase coherence of the atom is preserved so that this technique is useful in the realization of coherent atomic beam splitters and mirrors. Our experimental results are in good agreement with optical Bloch equation calculations.
