  • Abstract
    Using a three-step transverse cooling scheme, a strongly diverging flow of metastable Ne*(3P2) atoms is compressed into a small diameter (3 mm), well-collimated (1 mrad) atomic beam, using only 200 mW total laser power. This extremely valuable technique for frequency standard applications is applicable to many different atomic systems
