Abstract
As a result of transient atomic behavior, the achievements of laser cooling in pulsed fields are very different from those in continuous fields. Semiclassical and quantal treatments are used to identify the conditions for optimal cooling. For light atoms and narrow lines, energies below the one-photon recoil limit are obtained.
