    "abstract": "We discuss an experimental scheme to create a low-dimensional gas of\nultracold atoms, based on inelastic bouncing on an evanescent-wave mirror.\nClose to the turning point of the mirror, the atoms are transferred into an\noptical dipole trap. This scheme can compress the phase-space density and can\nultimately yield an optically-driven atom laser. An important issue is the\nsuppression of photon scattering due to ``cross-talk\u0027\u0027 between the mirror\npotential and the trapping potential. We propose that for alkali atoms the\nphoton scattering rate can be suppressed by several orders of magnitude if the\natoms are decoupled from the evanescent-wave light. We discuss how such dark\nstates can be achieved by making use of circularly-polarized evanescent waves.",
