Raman laser cooling of solids
A new approach is proposed for 3-D laser cooling of solids. Stimulated Raman scattering on a narrowband electronic transition is used in conjunction with 1-photon optical pumping on a broadband transition to provide a mechanism that cools all the vibrational modes of solids while conserving energy and momentum, photon by photon. The individual steps in the 2-photon Raman process are 4f–5d and 5...
متن کاملLaser cooling of solids to cryogenic temperatures
Laser radiation has been used to cool matter ranging from dilute gases to micromechanical oscillators. In Doppler cooling of gases, the translational energy of atoms is lowered through interaction with a laser field1,2. Recently, cooling of a high-density gas through collisional redistribution of radiation has been demonstrated3. In laser cooling of solids, heat is removed through the annihilat...
متن کاملUltrafast dynamics of laser-excited solids
Ultrafast dynamical processes in solids may be triggered, studied and even manipulated with help of ultrashort laser pulses. Also for materials processing there is an enormous potential of ultrashort laser pulses. Thus, femtosecond laser–solid interaction is of significant interest to the fields of both basic research and industrial applications. Here, I present results of theoretical considera...
متن کاملAdvances in Laser Cooling of Solids
We review the progress on laser cooling of solids. Laser cooling of ion-doped solids and semiconductors is based on the anti-Stokes fluorescence, where the emitted photons have a mean energy higher than that of the absorbed photons. The thermodynamic analysis shows that this cooling process does not violate the second law, and that the achieved efficiency is much lower than the theoretical limi...
متن کاملMaterial metrics for laser cooling of solids
The material metrics for optimal laser cooling of ion-doped solids are derived using atomic and molecular dynamics properties of the constituents. The anti-Stokes process is modeled as an optical phonon coupling of the bound electron, followed by a photon absorption. The transition dipole moment is estimated using a simplified charge-displacement model and the Judd–Ofelt theory of rare-earth io...
