Simulation study on computer-generated hologram coding imaging with Ne atom beam

Jianping Shi

Combining computer-generated hologram technique with atom optics and microfabrication techniques, a computer-generated hologram coding imaging technique with Ne atom beam is obtained. The techniques makes up for the deficiency that controlling atom stacking by means of laser gradient field can only manufacture the periodic patterns such as single quantum points and lines. Simulation is carried out for the techniques. The results show it can manufacture any patterns with ultra-fine structure and its feature line width is as small as nanometer level.Combining computer-generated hologram technique with atom optics and microfabrication techniques, a computer-generated hologram coding imaging technique with Ne atom beam is obtained.
