Abstract
Focusing of atoms with light potentials is studied. In particular, we consider strongly confined, cylindrical symmetric potential, and demonstrate their applications in both red and blue-detuned focusing of atoms. We also study the influence of aberrations, and find that a resolution of 1 nm should in principle be possible.
