contents The well-known sub-Doppler polarization gradient cooling in type-I transition ($F_e=F_g+1$) is caused by red-detuned lasers. On the other hand, in type-II transition ($F_e\le F_g$), sub-Doppler cooling takes place through blue-detuned lasers. This opposite behavior for the two types of transitions is due to SGC. In the absence of SGC, both types of transitions show blue-detuned cooling. In this work, we experimentally and theoretically demonstrate blue-detuned cooling for both types of transitions in $^{\textrm{87}}$Rb. For completeness, we compare the temperatures in various configurations.
