    "abstract": "We investigate the optical detection of single atoms held in a microscopic\natom trap close to a surface. Laser light is guided by optical fibers or\noptical micro-structures via the atom to a photo-detector. Our results suggest\nthat with present-day technology, micro-cavities can be built around the atom\nwith sufficiently high finesse to permit unambiguous detection of a single atom\nin the trap with 10 $\\mu$s of integration. We compare resonant and non-resonant\ndetection schemes and we discuss the requirements for detecting an atom without\ncausing it to undergo spontaneous emission.",
