Title: Quantized 1D- and 2D optical molasses: Laser cooling and spectrum of resonance fluorescene

Journal Article · · Bulletin of the American Physical Society
OSTI ID:281352

We present results for laser cooling of optical molasses and the spectrum of resonance fluorescene based on a fully quantum mechanical treatment of the atomic center-of-mass motion for 1D and 2D laser configurations. Our calculations based on recently developed wave function simulations of the quantum master equation for laser cooling.
