| Popis: | We show that it is possible to obtain a very efficient photo-atom source, whose atom flux is regulated by light. The atom release is due to the recently observed light-induced atom desorption effect from silane coated cells. We report the results obtained at room temperature with rubidium in a double body cell coated with (poly)dimethyl-siloxane. This kind of photo-atom source can be immediately extended to other alkali atoms, namely sodium, potassium and cesium. Possible applications are discussed. |
