Purely optical macroscopic trap for alkaline-earth and similar atoms

O. N. Prudnikov, V. I. Yudin, R. Ya. Ilenkov +1

We consider a laser cooling and trapping of alkaline-earth and similar atoms in a bichromatic field resonant to a closed optical transition ${}^1{S}_0\to {}^1{P}_1$ or $^1S_0 \to \, ^3…
