We perform saturated absorption spectroscopy using counterpropagating evanescent waves at different incident angles. The experimental results show that a crossover resonance splits into two resonant peaks, and the separation increases with an increase in the difference between the incident angles of the pump and the probe evanescent waves. This indicates that the pseudomomentum of the evanescent wave, which is the wave vector along the surface multiplied by ℏ and is larger than the momentum in vacuum, is actually transferred to the atoms as a real recoil momentum.
