Adiabatic focusing of cold atoms in a blue-detuned laser standing wave

Adiabatic focusing of cold atoms in a blue-detuned laser standing wave is analyzed. It is shown that using repulsive light forces that push atoms towards dark regions and thus minimizes heating, cold atoms can be adiabatically compressed by more than an order of magnitude to yield background-free su...
