Laser Cooling by Stimulated Emission

ORAL

Abstract

We present a laser cooling schemes based on the stimulated emission of the two level atoms, by the bichromatic field. The improved efficiency of the scheme is suggested by the Carnot-like thermal cycle. The controllability of the stimulated and the cooling of the internal degrees of freedom of the atom are the strong candidates for enabling us to expand the scheme to more complex atoms as well as the molecules.
