摘要：

We demonstrate a simple method to produce a hollow laser beam for applications in atom trapping using an axicon. We obtain a beam profile having the shape of a ring with a diameter of similar to 800 mu m and a width of 35 mu m. In a large dark inner region, the intensity is only 0.1% of the peak intensity. The properties of the hollow beam are very promising for atom traps based on the optical dipole force. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
