Abstract
Atom guiding using the repulsive forces of a blue detuned evanescent light field from a laser coupled into the glass cladding surrounding the hollow- core fiber is demonstrated. This method has the advantage of suppressing the number of spontaneous emission events since the atoms spend most of the time in the dark regions of the fiber. Since the light is guided by total internal reflection which attenuates at a much higher rate, longer fibers with smaller hole diameters become practical.
