Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 55))

Abstract

The laser cooling, manipulation and trapping of neutral atoms has seen remarkable progress, so it would be impossible to adequately review the work done in recent years. Instead, this paper will summarize the work done on atom cooling and trapping at AT&T Bell Laboratories during the last three years, emphasizing the status of our most recent experimental results.
