This article presents a review of some of the principal techniques of laser cooling and trapping that have been developed during the past 20 years. Its approach is primarily experimental, but its quantitative descriptions are consistent in notation with most of the theoretical literature. Keywords: laser cooling; atom trapping; optical lattice; Bose–Einstein condensation
