title = "Laser cooling on narrow-line optical transitions in monochromatic light",
abstract = "We study the laser cooling of atoms with a narrow-line optical transition in monochromatic laser light, i.e. in regimes of quantum nature of laser-light interactions resulting in a significant recoil effect. It is demonstrated that a minimum laser cooling temperature for two-level atom in standing wave reached for red detuning close to 3 recoil frequency, greatly different from the theory used for a semiclassical description of Doppler cooling. A set of dimensionless parameters uniquely characterizing the time evolution and the steady state of different atoms with narrow-line optical transitions in the laser field is introduced. The results can be used for analysis of optimal conditions for laser cooling of atoms with narrow lines such as Ca, Sr, and Mg, which are of great interest for atomic clocks.",
