Abstract
Optical pumping and one-dimensional optical molasses have been demonstrated in an atomic chromium beam. These constitute the first steps in a program to use the forces exerted by light on atoms to control deposition on a surface. The eventual goal is to introduce new ways to fabricate microscopic structures with higher resolution and parallelism than can be obtained with conventional methods.
