laser cooling below the Doppler limit in which atoms repeatedly climb light-shift potential hills before being optically pumped to the valleys.

In atomic, molecular and optical physics, Sisyphus cooling refers to laser cooling below the Doppler limit in which atoms repeatedly climb light-shift potential hills before being optically pumped to the valleys. This meaning comes from Dalibard (1989) in Journal of the Optical Society of America B.[1]
