Abstract
We have observed diffraction of a laser probe beam by a trapped sample
of cold atoms. The effect is only visible in the vicinity of a resona
nce line. The observed diffraction pattern arises from interference of
the incident and scattered light wave, allowing reconstruction of geo
metric properties of the trapped sample from the holographic record. (
