VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION FOR LASER COOLED ATOMS IN A ONE-DIMENSIONAL SIGMA(+)-SIGMA(-)-CONFIGURATION
We report on fully quantum calculations of the momentum distribution of atoms cooled in the sigma +- sigma - configuration. These distributions have sharp quantum features at integer multiples of the photon momentum h(cross)k, similar to those which have been observed experimentally using linearly p...
