Different approaches for constructing periodic magnetic structures with micron-scale periodicities are described, including the use of arrays of current-carrying wires fabricated by photolithography, grooved ferromagnetic structures fabricated by electron-beam lithography, and magnetic structures recorded on magneto-optical film by a focused diode laser beam, Results on the reflection of free-falling laser-cooled caesium atoms from these microfabricated magnetic mirrors are presented. 收起
