Abstract

The optical detection of single atoms held in a microscopic atom trap close to a surface was investigated. Optical fibers or optical microstructures via the atom to a photodetector were used to guide the laser light. Resonant and nonresonant detection schemes were compared and the requirements for detecting an atom without causing it to undergo spontaneous emission.
