Generalized theory for optical cooling of a trapped atom with spin
The authors develop a generalized optical cooling model for a bound atom with spin in a single or counterpropagating beam configuration with different polarizations. They perform simulations with hyperfine levels and demonstrate good agreement with a simplified spin model. The results provide valuable insights into optimizing cooling schemes.
