摘要：

We investigate the effect of reabsorption of photons in laser cooling of trapped atoms, in view of a possible achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation by purely optical means. Reabsorption can be strongly suppressed by using strongly deformed traps and by reducing the fluorescence rate to a value smaller than the trap frequencies.
