A atomic beam generating method and apparatus for producing an atomic beam that is high in flow rate is disclosed which makes vacuum equipment simpler in construction, and is high in the rate of extraction of atoms, capable of adjusting its flow rate and applicable to many different atomic species. The atomic beam generating apparatus used produces a beam of atoms by extracting the atoms from a low temperature atomic cloud formed by laser cooling. The low temperature atomic cloud is formed by irradiating the atoms with at least two sets of laser lights in .a region of laser beam intersection in which they intersect, each of the sets of laser lights being made of a pair of laser beams which are opposite in direction of travel to each other, the laser beams intersecting in the region of laser beam intersection. In this region of laser beam intersection there is provided a laser beam shading zone in which one of the laser beams in each of the sets of laser lights that is traveling in a particular direction is obstructed to provide a shade therefor. The laser beam shading zone is so located in the region of laser beam intersection that in the laser beam shading zone a force is brought about that is effective to force atoms in the laser beam shading zone to move towards a preselected direction, thereby forming a beam thereof.
L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de génération de faisceau atomique permettant de générer un faisceau atomique à débit élevé, à efficacité de captage<u> </u>élevée, au moyen d'un dispositif à vide à structure simple, ce procédé pouvant être régulé en débit, et s'appliquer à différents grains atomiques. On utilise un dispositif (10) de génération de faisceau atomique pour générer un faisceau atomique par extraction d'atomes à basse température à partir d'un groupe d'atomes formés par refroidissement d'un laser, afin de bloquer au moyen d'un tube de transport (14) de faisceau atomique, une partie d'un faisceau laser avançant dans chaque ensemble de faisceaux laser dans un sens spécifié au niveau d'une région de croisement (5) d'au moins deux ensembles de faisceaux laser (13a, 13b). Chaque ensemble possède deux faisceaux laser avançant dans des sens mutuellement opposés, ce qui forme une région négative (16) de faisceau laser, et produit une force qui pousse les atomes dans un sens spécifié de la région négative afin de générer un faisceau atomique (18).
