摘要：

We address the problem of the realization of a magneto-optically cooled atom cloud near a dielectric surface. The influence of the surface on the magneto-optical trap is analyzed via numerical simulation of the trapping process. Experimental results show that a Cs magneto-optical trap can operate as close as 50 mu m from the surface. Possible applications of our scheme to study atom-surface interaction are discussed.
