Phys. Rev. A 47, 4986–4993 (1993)Spectrum of resonance fluorescence and cooling dynamics in quantized one-dimensional molasses: Effects of laser configurationReceived 25 January 1993; published in the issue dated June 1993 We study theoretically the spectrum of resonance fluorescence and laser-cooling dynamics corresponding to quantized atomic motion in one-dimensional optical molasses. We consider an atom with a Jg=1→Je=2 transition interacting with two counterpropagating laser beams. The laser light is assumed to be linearly polarized with an angle θ between the polarization vectors. We discuss the spectrum of resonance fluorescence, the spectroscopy of band structure in the optical potentials, and the population of the vibrational quantum levels as a function of the angle between the polarization vectors. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
