Bose-Einstein condensates can be considered as sources of coherent matter. When atoms are extracted from a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate, a coherent, monoenergetic atomic beam is generated. Such a source is commonly referred to as an atom laser. Previous atom lasers were based on Bose-Einstein condensates of atoms in field-sensitive Zeeman states. Such atom lasers thus suffered form fluctuations of the chemical potential caused by stray magnetic fields. In this work, a novel type of atom laser is demonstrated. A coherent atomic beam is generated by outcoupling of atoms from a magnetic field-insensitive Bose-Einstein con-densate. The here developed experimental procedure does not require magnetic shielding of the apparatus in order to create quasi-continuous beams. The presented experiments are based on quasistatic dipole traps for the confinement of cold 87Rb atoms, which is realized with mid-infrared radiation emitted from a CO2-laser operating near λ = 10.6 µm. Because of the extreme laser detuning, a state-independent confinement is realized. Atoms in different spin-projections can be confined. Moreover
