　　原子光学是近年来兴起的基于量子力学的物理学前沿领域，涉及原子物理、分子物理和量子光学等物理学分支。原子光学基础的建立可追溯到1929年，其深入的实验研究则是近几年的事。本书重点关注光在原子光学中的应用以及对光与原子相互作用的理解。全书包括基本概念、线性原子光学、非线性原子光学与量子原子光学四部分共13章，分别为：光作用于原子的力，原子冷却，原子束的准直与聚焦，原子折射，原子陷阱与腔，碰撞，（碰撞的）简单应用，多体理论回顾，物质波相干，玻色－爱因斯坦凝聚，原子激光，非线性混波，光波与物质波的混波。对于从事原子激光、原子捕获、玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚等领域研究的或尝试进入这些领域的研究人员，本书是一本系统的入门参考书。
