Abstract: This paper reports an experimental design where for the first time, excited-state stimulated transitions are exploited for efficient cooling and trapping of neutral atoms. Underneath this seemingly counter-intuitive observation is a two-year effort which convinces that multi-color laser cooling is an under-exploited topic in laser cooling field, and may contribute to resolving long-standing problems in cooling certain atomic specis or even molecules. The idea and methodology is continuously developed at Swansea Physics
