摘要
We analyze the laser cooling of a gas of polarizable particles by continuous dispersive position detection and active feedback. Microkelvin temperatures can be attained inside an optical resonator, while in free space cooling requires wavelength-size beams. The maximum cooling flux is set by the thermal Doppler width, with typical values between 10(5) and 10(9) molecules per second.
