Sisyphus Cooling

Sisyphus Cooling is a laser cooling mechanism that arises from the polarization gradient–induced spatial modulation of atomic potential hills, whereby atoms repeatedly climb potential barriers and lose kinetic energy through optical pumping into lower-energy sublevels, analogous to the mythological labor of Sisyphus.
