For instance, laser cooling of hydrogen requires vacuum-ultraviolet laser light, while multielectron atoms need laser light at many widely separated frequencies. These restrictions can be eased by laser cooling on two-photon transitions with ultrafast pulse trains. Laser cooling of hydrogen, antihydrogen, and carbon appears feasible, and extension of the technique to molecules may be possible.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-06-14T03:35:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "laser cooling", "ultrafast pulse trains", "multielectron atoms need laser light", "vacuum-ultraviolet laser light", "level structure" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
