摘要
A gray-scale photographic image of atoms has been generated by using a computer-designed thin-film hologram. An ultracold neon atomic beam in the Iss state was transmitted through a thin-film binary hologram made of SiN4 and generated a pattern of atoms on a micro-channel plate detector. The design and the quality evaluation of the hologram for gray-scale pictures are discussed theoretically. The validity of the theoretical analysis has been tested by a hologram that generated a simple test pattern.
