摘要
The bichromatic force has been used to both slow and collimate a beam of metastable 2(3)S He atoms (He*). The collimation capture range is an extraordinary +/-85 m/s corresponding to similar to0.18 radians from our source. Both slowing and collimation were accomplished in the unprecedented short distance of similar to5 cm each. The overall brightness increase is x3200, and there is potential for considerably more.
