because a normal change from an excited state to a stabilized state places the energy of the atom back to its initial energy , its frequency returns to its initial frequency and its electrons orbits return to there initial orbits.
Surely the whole point of laser cooling is that the atom does not return to its original frequency between impacts. This was explained in the video, as was the fact that it is kinetic energy that has to be reduced. The bit that was not explained (or perhaps I missed)was what happened to all the energy being introduced to the system, and the energy being removed.
the only element involved that could possibly account
for the lost energy would be the emission of a higher charged photon.
Where would this extra-energetic photon go. Saying it is emitted by an individual atom does not account for its loss in terms of the system.
