In 1990, Jacques Revel, then editor of Annales , wrote to me that an article I had submitted to the journal had provoked the most bitter debate in the history of the editorial board. In the end, the committee rejected it and I published it the following …

Abstract We have focused our discussion on the case of a periodic dipole potential created by a standing wave of sinusoidally varying intensity in space. We have applied to this problem the tools originally developed in solid-state physics to deal with …

Abstract We have shown how to evaluate the force created by a monochromatic light beam when this beam presents an intensity gradient. We have calculated this dipole force first for a simple "two-level atom" model, then for a more realistic atomic …
