Various atom optical elements have been realized using magnetostatic and electrostatic potentials created by surface-mounted microscopic wire structures. Here we present a next step to make these atom chips become an universal toolbox for fundamental experiments in quantum optics as well as for possible applications like quantum information processing. We have recently started to investigate possibilities to integrate light onto atom chips for atom preparation, manipulation, and detection, for example by using micro cavities. Here we present concepts, theoretical estimations for the coupling of atoms to light fields in on-board mesoscopic devices, and first setups.
