In the second part we report on a recent experiment in our group on an atom-optical element that may be useful in atom interferometers and atom cavities: the demonstration of a new beam splitter based on the diffraction of atomic matter waves from a "magneto-optical grating".eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAtomoptik , Atominterferometrie530conferenceObject
