    "abstract": "We study a single incoherently pumped atom moving within an optical high-Q\nresonator in the strong coupling regime. Using a semiclassical description for\nthe atom and field dynamics, we derive a closed system of differential\nequations to describe this coupled atom-field dynamics. For sufficiently strong\npumping the system starts lasing when the atom gets close to a field antinode,\nand the associated light forces provide for self-trapping of the atom. For a\ncavity mode blue detuned with respect to the atomic transition frequency this\nis combined with cavity induced motional cooling allowing for long term\nsteady-state operation of such a laser. The analytical results for temperature\nand field statistics agree well with our earlier predictions based on Quantum\nMonte Carlo simulations. We find sub-Doppler temperatures that decrease with\ngain and coupling strength and can even go beyond the limit of passive cavity\ncooling. Besides demonstrating the importance of light forces in single-atom\nlasers, this result also gives strong evidence to enhance laser cooling through\nstimulated emission in resonators.",
