Abstract

We consider the force and the momentum diffusion for atoms moving in a standing wave laser field. We show how a correlation function approach, within which the periodicity of the atom-field coupling is treated by a continued fraction method, can be generalized to cooling of atoms in a squeezed vacuum. Here, cooling may occur around non-zero velocities, and consequences of the squeezing for the force and momentum diffusion are determined.
