Abstract
Photon scanning tunneling microscope has been employed to measure the three-dimensional evanescent optical field of an atom funnel. A 3.8 neV repulsive optical potential has been estimated by a 300μm long probe with a tip radius of curvature of 21 nm. We have estimated limiting conditions for cold Rb atoms to reflect from the atom funnel. A two-dimensional doughnut-shaped optical near field has also been investigated. An aperture fiber probe is used to profile a focussed TEM01 beam at the minimum beam waist and measure a dark center of about 10μm while it is focussed by a converging lens of focal length 8 cm.
