Abstract

The three-dimensional kinetics of resonance atoms with the J = 0 → J = 1 quantum transition in the weak field of mutually orthogonal bichromatic standing waves under conditions of manifestation of the effect of straightening of radiation forces is considered. It is demonstrated that the character of particle motion (induced by the straightened radiation forces) significantly depends on the relative phase difference of standing waves. In general, it is vortex in character and can suppress the process of localization of atoms in the small vicinity of straightened radiation force nodes even in the presence of a strong friction force. The target-oriented choice of phase relationships between the field components with mutually orthogonal polarization directions guarantees a solution of the problem of purely optical localization of atoms in the mode of vortex-free motion.
