Abstract

Deceleration and velocity distribution narrowing of an atomic beam irradiated by a counter-running resonant light wave is discussed. Velocity distribution evolution under the action of light pressure force and diffusion is found. The results of a numerical solution of the kinetic equation for the atomic velocity distribution function are presented. These results show the efficiency of using the light pressure to decelerate atomic beams and narrow their velocity distribution.
