POLARIZATION GRADIENT COOLING IN A ONE-DIMENSIONAL SIGMA+-SIGMA- CONFIGURATION FOR ANY ATOMIC TRANSITION

The authors discuss the radiation force in a one-dimensional σ +- σ - laser standing wave, for transitions J to J+ Delta J, for any J. and Delta J=+or-1.0. in the limit of low saturation of the atomic transition. The interaction between the radiation...
