We developed a multi-mode ground state cooling technique based on electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) [1]. By involving an additional ground and excited state, two individually adjustable bright states together with a dark state are created. While the dark state suppresses carrier scattering, the two bright states are brought into resonance with spectrally separated motional red sidebands. The approach is scalable to more than two bright states and several dark states by introducing additional laser couplings. For large laser intensities, the Lamb-Dicke theory becomes unsuitable and a description based in a generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem for non-linear response [2] is presented.
