摘要：

We have modeled and experimentally investigated the ''Zeeman tuned slowing'' of rubidium using sigma--polarized laser light. Previous studies have all used sigma+-light. We find that important details of the slowing process enable this new method to produce significantly slower and more intense atomic beams than for the sigma+-case. An additional advantage: sigma--slowing exhibits much weaker dependence on laser wavelength and intensity.
