Abstract

The use of bichromatic forces (BF) for slowing and collimating helium atoms was analyzed. Investigations show that the collimation capture range corresponds to ≅0.18 radians in only 50 mm interaction length. It was found that both slowing and collimation were accomplished in the unprecedented short distance of ≅5 cm. It was concluded that BF was well suited for improving the intensity, brightness and brilliance of atomic beams.
