TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:5287228 L3 - citeulike-article-id:5287228 N2 - In this article, we describe how to develop a mode converter that transforms a plane electromagnetic wave into an inward moving dipole wave. The latter one is intended to bring a single atom or ion from its ground state to its excited state by absorption of a single photon wave packet with near-100% efficiency.
