Abstract
The difference between excited and ground atomic-momentum distributions, in an arbitrary degenerate R-type atomic system interacting with two counterp ropagating fields, is exploited to construct a set of analytical functions that have features similar to the long-time atomic-momentum distributions d ue to cooling by velocity-selective coherent population trapping [J. Opt. S oc Am. B 6 (1989) 2112]. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved .
