Atom Waves in Crystals of Light (Physical Review Letters 77-25)
Markus K. Oberthaler, Roland Abfalterer, Stefan Bernet, Jorg Schmiedmayer, Anton Zeilinger
We present experiments studying the coherent motion of atoms in crystals made from on and off resonant light. The experiments confirm that inside the light-field atoms fulfilling the Bragg condition form a standing matter wave pattern. As a consequence we observed anomalous transmission of atoms through resonant light fields.
