Abstract
The time-of-night signal from polarization-gradient-cooled Cs atoms indicat es that the cooling effect first decreases with increased detuning, but is restored as the detuning is increased beyond -170 MHz. It also indicates th at this detuning also causes a shift in the signal peak. These penomena can be explained by taking into account the influence of the neighboring trans ition.
