  • Abstract
    The authors have developed a new model that accounts for Sisyphus cooling and accurately describes the obtained data. Due to yhe observed ultra-low threshold for pattern formation and the strong fifth-order nonlinear response, the system is a novel testing ground for a broad range of applications and studies of fundamental science.
