Abstract
Theoretical foundations of atom dynamics in laser fields are reviewed in relation with applications to laser spectroscopy, control of atomic motion, atom traps and frequency standards. Quasiclassical kinetic equations are applied to multilevel atomic schemes interacting with counter-propagating laser waves to describe the properties of atomic populations and coherence and the time evolution of atomic distribution function. Basic types of the dipole radiation forces on atoms are discussed for the realistic cases of multilevel dipole interaction schemes such as 3(g)+5(e), 3(g)+3(e), 5(g)+3(e), 5(g)+7(e), 3(g)+3(e)+5(e) and 1(g)+3(g)+3(e)+5(e).
