Lattice atom optics and its applications
Yin Jian-Ping
Abstract
The recent development of lattice atom optics is introduced, including atomic optical lattices, atomic magnetic lattices and magneto-optical lattices, and some new results of atomic magnetic lattices and magneto-optical lattices, and some new results on the investigations of magnetic and magneto-optical lattices are reported. Afterwards, some recent progresses of dynamic process of cold atoms and Bose-Einstein-condensed atoms in optical lattices, and coherent propagation and control of quantum states are briefly reviewed. Finally, potential applications of atomic optical lattices, atomic magnetic lattices and magneto-optical lattices in the preparation of photonic crystals and so on are briefly introduced.
