Abstract

The generally accepted theory of laser cooling of free atoms predicts that the lowest achievable temperature is given by kaT = hγ/2, where kB is Boltzmann's constant arid γ is the natural linewidth of the transition for laser cooling. This "Doppler cooling limit" results from the minimization of the detuning-dependent temperature at low laser power1:
