“…The effect consists in the focusing of an atomic beam in conservative adiabatic potentials originating from the spatially modulated energy light shifts. The other dissipative regime for light masks was presented recently in [3,4]. It combines focusing with laser cooling, resulting in a smaller width and higher contrast of the spatial atomic structures.…”

We consider the kinetics of atoms in nonuniform spatially polarised light fields resonant to the quadrupole optical transition with F g → F e = F g + 2 (F g,e is the total angular momentum in the ground and excited states). The lowest possible temperatures of laser cooling of atoms are analysed numerically and the results are compared with the data obtained for sub-Doppler cooling using light waves resonant to electric dipole optical transitions.

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 + – σ – and lin⊥lin configurations, the analysis of the minimum achievable energies of laser-cooled atoms is performed. It is shown that the polarisation mechanisms of laser cooling under conditions of a significant influence of recoil effects become less efficient and do not lead to average kinetic energies of an ensemble of atoms below the Doppler limit.
