Abstract

The difference between excited and ground atomic-momentum distributions, in an arbitrary degenerate Λ-type atomic system interacting with two counterpropagating fields, is exploited to construct a set of analytical functions that have features similar to the long-time atomic-momentum distributions due to cooling by velocity-selective coherent population trapping [J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 6 (1989) 2112].
