A linear quantum dynamic theory for output coupler of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms in a trap is considered with the Bogoliu bov approximation in the thermodynamical limit based on the recent MIT experiment (Phys. Rev. Lett. 78 (1997) 582) for atomic laser. In evolution of total system, the solution of the many-body problem shows a factorization of dynamic process, i.e., the wave function initially prepared in a direct product of a vacuum state and a coherent state remains in a direct product of coherent states at any instance. Physically, this factorizable structure predicts that an ideal condensate in the trap will remain in such a condensate state after the radiation frequency interaction while the output-coupler pulse of atoms forms a macroscopic quantum state in a propagating mode, i.e., the atomic laser.
