Abstract
We report experiments and calculations of sub-Doppler laser cooling in a one-dimensional optical molasses and a uniform magnetic field, both with and without polarization gradients. Magnetic field induced laser cooling (MILC)1 depends upon the non-adiabatic atomic response to the combination of a circularly polarized laser standing wave and a magnetic field perpendicular to the laser beams.
