Mirror-mediated cooling: a paradigm for particle cooling via the retarded dipole force

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Cooling forces result from the retarded dipole interaction between an illuminated particle and its reflection. For a one-dimensional example, we find cooling times of milliseconds and limiting temperatures in the millikelvin range. The force, which may be considered the prototype for cavity-mediated cooling, may be enhanced by plasmon and geometric resonances at the mirror.
