Solid-state optical refrigeration to sub-100 Kelvin regime
Since the first demonstration of net cooling twenty years ago, optical refrigeration of solids has progressed to outperform all other solid-state cooling processes. It has become the first and only solid-state refrigerator capable of reaching cryogenic temperatures, and now the first solid-state cooling below 100 K. Such substantial progress required a multi-disciplinary approach of pump laser ...
متن کاملPseudomorphic and metamorphic (Al)GaAsSb/(Al)InGaAs tunnel junctions for GaAs based Multi-Junction Solar Cells
Aim and approach Tunnel Junctions (TJs) are key devices for monolithic Multi-Junction Solar Cells (MJSCs), in which they ensure the series interconnection between the subcells. For GaAs based MJSCs, very low resistive (with peak tunneling current density Jpeak up to 10 kA/cm2) AlGaAs:C/GaInP:Te or AlGaAs:C/GaAs:Te have been recently developed by MOVPE using Te instead of Si as N-dopant making i...
متن کاملThe Los Alamos Solid-State Optical Refrigerator
Optical refrigeration may provide the physical basis for solid-state cryocooling. Devices based on this physics would be vibrationless, compact, and free of electromagnetic interference. Having no moving parts and being pumped by a diode lasers, optical refrigerators would be rugged with operating lifetimes of years. Experiments at Los Alamos National Laboratory have demonstrated the basic phys...
متن کاملElectronic coolers based on superconducting tunnel junctions: fundamentals and applications
Thermo-electric transport at the nano-scale is a rapidly developing topic, in particular in superconductor-based hybrid devices. In this review paper, we first discuss the fundamental principles of electronic cooling in mesoscopic superconducting hybrid structures, the related limitations and applications. We review recent work performed in Grenoble on the effects of Andreev reflection, photoni...
متن کاملThe Los Alamos Solid - State Optical Refrigerator ( LASSOR ) Program
Recent work at Los Alamos National Laboratory has demonstrated the physical principles for a new type of solidstate cryocooler based on anti-Stokes fluorescence1. From our laboratory work and computer simulations we estimate that a practical, first-generation, all-solid-state fluorescent cryocooler will have the following properties2: • no vibrations • will not produce and is not susceptible to...
