Quantum treatment of two-stage sub-Doppler laser cooling of magnesium atoms

D. V. Brazhnikov, O. N. Prudnikov, A. V. Taichenachev +4

The problem of deep laser cooling of ${}^{24}$Mg atoms is theoretically studied. We propose two-stage sub-Doppler cooling strategy using electro-dipole transition $3^3{P}_2$$\to$$3^3D_…
