Abstract
It was recently shown that a single atom located at the focus of a simple aspheric lens can efficiently scatter photons out of a focused coherent light beam, impose a phase shift, and partially reflect a probe beam. With our current experimental system, we observe an extinction of 10% and a phase shift of about 1°.
