Cavity cooling below the recoil limit — •Hans Keßler, Matthias Wolke, Jens Klinder, and Andreas Hemmerich — Institut für Laserphysik, Universität Hamburg

We experimentally explore a new regime of atom-cavity interaction, characterised by strong dispersive coupling and a small cavity linewidth permitting energy selectivity on the order of the recoil energy. This permits us to demonstrate cooling of an ensemble of ultra cold Rubidium below the recoil limit.
