“Gray molasses”Get very cold, but need large detuning (with respect to natural linewidth)this is hard to come by for the lighter alkalis (small excited state hyperfine splittings)
One solution – use D1 line instead, larger splitting of excited hyperfine levels(there’s more to it than this, but it relies on this fact)

Raman sideband cooling – recent result on cooling of individually trapped atoms
Key ingredients
• stimulated Raman transition to reduce motional quanta (remove a phonon)
• optical pumping to “refresh” the cycle
