Abstract

Light that is both frequency and amplitude modulated can produce huge optical forces by adiabatic exchange of momentum between atoms and the light field. Such forces can both manipulate and cool atomic beams and vapors. We have measured such forces in metastable 23S He to be up to 10 × stronger than the ordinary radiative force.
