Abstract

An atom deflector and detector operating with local selective interaction are illustrated from both experiments and computations, including their fabrication. The feature of a nano-slit is examined in detail by conducting finite-difference time-domain simulations. Two ways of detecting atoms with two-color evanescent lights are also demonstrated for Rb atoms.
