Abstract
The extension to high angular momentum transitions of laser cooling be low the recoil limit based on velocity-selective coherent population t rapping (VSCPT) is explored. An efficient VSCPT can be realized only b y applying a compensation of the kinetic energy mismatch between the c omponents of the superposition wavefunction and introducing repumping on the hyperfine transitions. Theoretical and experimental progress fo r VSCPT on caesium atoms is discussed.
