| Abstract: | We describe the realization of atom-optical elements as
magnetic waveguide potentials, beam splitters and gravitational
traps on a microchip. The microchip was produced by electroplating
gold conductors on an aluminium-oxide substrate. The conductors are
30–150 μm wide and allow for the generation of waveguides at
large distances to the chip surface, where surface effects are
negligible. We show that these elements can be integrated on a
single chip to achieve complex atom-optical circuits. |
