摘要

By heating a high-temperature tank (116) with a heater (108), atomic gas is generated in the high-temperature tank (116) from an atomic source. A magneto-optical trap is realized by a laser beam (130) reflected by a right-angled conical mirror (102) and a magnetic field formed by a magnetic field generator (112), and the atomic gas is captured by using the magneto-optical trap and cooled. The captured and cooled atoms are output from an opening (106) to the outside of a slow atom beam generator (100) by a laser beam (132), which is a push laser beam. A slow atomic beam is thereby formed.
