  We propose a cavity based laser cooling and trapping scheme, providing tight
confinement and cooling to very low temperatures, without degradation at high
particle densities. A bidirectionally pumped ring cavity builds up a resonantly
enhanced optical standing wave which acts to confine polarizable particles in
deep potential wells. The particle localization yields a coupling of the
degenerate travelling wave modes via coherent photon redistribution. This
induces a splitting of the cavity resonances with a high frequency component,
that is tuned to the anti-Stokes Raman sideband of the particles oscillating in
the potential wells, yielding cooling due to excess anti-Stokes scattering.
Tight confinement in the optical lattice together with the prediction, that
more than 50% of the trapped particles can be cooled into the motional ground
state, promise high phase space densities.
