Single-photon atomic cooling
2008
We propose a new method of cooling and phase space compression that requires each atom to scatter only one photon. We consider the specific example of rubidium-87 atoms confined to a magnetic trap and provide realistic estimates. Beyond a demonstration in atomic rubidium, this method could enable cooling of atoms and molecules that do not have cycling transitions.
