Abstract
The time required for establishing a stationary distribution of two-level atoms in the field of a onedimensional standing light wave is studied with full allowance for recoil effects and spatial trapping. The dependences of the cooling time on the problem parameters are obtained, and their considerable deviance from semiclassical predictions is demonstrated.
