Abstract:The efficiency of the polarisation mechanisms of laser cooling of atoms is analysed using narrow optical transitions for which the recoil energy is greater than or comparable to the natural line width. By the example of atoms with the J
g = 1 → J
e = 2 optical transition (J
g and J
e are the total angular momenta of the ground and excited states) in the resonant light fields of σ
