Abstract: Trapped, laser-cooled rubidium atoms are transferred between two strongly focused, horizontal, orthogonally intersecting laser beams. The transfer efficiency is studied as a function of the vertical distance between the beam axes. Optimum transfer is found when the distance equals the beam waist radius. Numerical simulations reproduce well the experimental results.
