Abstract: With the development of laser cooling and trapping atoms techniques,atom optics,a new filed in physics,has gradually come into being based on the researches on properties of the cold atoms,interaction between the cold atoms and matters,the manipulation of the cold atoms and their application.However,atom optics has not been systematically introduced to the undergraduates majoring in physics and the other involved sciences as an important part of the modern physics.In this paper,we first brief the development of atom optics and analyzed the necessity to construct this curriculum for undergraduates.Subsequently,the teaching contents of atom optics and the corresponding teaching plans are suggested and discussed according to the teaching requirements of colleges and universitses for undergraduates.

Key words: atom optics, undergraduate teaching, curriculum content, cold atom
