摘要
We experimentally investigate Bragg reflection of atoms from a standing light wave. We focus on the influence of small angular deviations from the exact Bragg resonance onto the reflection probability. The Bragg resonance has a finite acceptance angle, which depends on the light intensity. Within this acceptance angle, an oscillatory behavior of the reflection probability as a function of the angle is observed. [S1050-2947(99)02302-1].
