Abstract: A detailed experimental study of the steady-state temperature in a 3D optical lattice for cesium has been performed for a wide range of detunings. Specifically, we have investigated the situation with the cooling and trapping light detuned far red of a ( J g↦J e = J g + 1)-transition, where the blue detuned interaction with a ( J g↦J e = J g)-transition can not be neglected. We find that the temperature scales with the optical potential due to the interaction with just the ( J g↦J e = J g + 1)-transition. This indicates that blue Sisyphus cooling has essentially no effect on the dynamics of the system, when there exists a neighbouring red detuned transition.
