In the second and third part we report on recent experiments in our group on two specific atom-optical elements 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" and the investigation of a mirror based on the reflection of atoms from an evanescent light field.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAtomoptik , Atombestrahlung , Atominterferometrie530conferenceObject
