Proposals of three dimensional stable optical traps for neutral atoms are presented. Two different laser beam configurations, separately optimized for trapping and cooling, act alternately on the same atomic transition, or simultaneously on two different transitions. Large values are predicted for the ratio optical potential depths over residual kinetic energy.
