摘要：

We report the observation of collective-emission-induced, velocity-dependent light forces. One-third of a falling sample containing 3x10(6) cesium atoms illuminated by a horizontal standing wave is stopped by cooperatively emitting light into a vertically oriented, confocal resonator. We observe decelerations up to 1500 m/s(2) and cooling to temperatures as low as 7 muK, well below the free-space Doppler limit. The measured forces substantially exceed those predicted for a single two-level atom.
