Abstract We present a theoretical study of the localization1 of atoms with an angular momentumJ g=3 toJ e=4 transition (e.g., chromium atoms) in quantized optical molasses created by two counterpropagating linearly polarized laser beams. We study the localization as a function of the potential depth, the angle between the polarizations and the interaction time with the molasses in the low-intensity limit, and discuss the possibility of adiabatic compression and squeezing of the atomic distribution.
