Efficient Two-dimensional Subrecoil Raman Cooling of Atoms in a Tripod Configuration

We present an efficient method for subrecoil cooling of neutral atoms by applying Raman cooling in 2D to a four-level tripod-system. The atoms can be cooled simultaneously in two directions using only three laser beams. We describe the cooling process with a simple model showing that the momentum di...
