title: Side-illuminated hollow-core optical fiber for atom guiding.
abstract: We demonstrate a technique for coupling guiding light into hollow-core optical fibers for atom guiding. Microprisms embedded into a multimode, double-clad hollow fiber, allow light to be coupled into the fiber at multiple locations along the length of the fiber. The technique offers significant advantages over end-pumped configurations.
