N2 - A model was developed for laser cooling of alkali atoms in a polychromatic field, considering the real structure of atomic levels. The model was tested by the example of the 6Li atom. The minimum achievable temperatures of laser cooling of light alkali atoms were studied for different polarizations of the light field components, and the possibility of cooling below the Doppler limit was shown.
