Electric-field modified atomic beam holography
We report a demonstration of electric-field modulated atomic beam holography. The phase of the Ne atomic wave is modified by the quadratic Stark effect when an atom passes through the hologram. A combination of an electrode array and a two-dimensional through-hole hologram works as the phase hologram. Such a phase hologram not only eliminates nondiffracted images, but also makes real-time pattern modification possible.
