Sideband laser cooling using stimulated Raman transitions is
performed on trapped cesium atoms. The confinement is produced by a
far–off-resonance dipole trap consisting of two crossed YAG beams
which, by interference, create a one-dimensional optical lattice.
In a pure intensity lattice, we measure a 1D temperature of 
corresponding to a mean quantum vibrational number of about
. In a polarization gradient lattice, the final
temperature is 
corresponding to 
.
