摘要
A laser-cooled neutral-atom beam from a low-velocity intense source is split into two beams while guided by a magnetic-field potential. We generate our multimode-beamsplitter potential with two current-carrying wires on a glass substrate combined with an external transverse bias field. The atoms bend around several curves over a -cm distance. A maximum integrated flux of is achieved with a current density of in the 100- diameter wires. The initial beam can be split into two beams with a 50/50 splitting ratio.
