Materials for Optical Cryocoolers
Vibration free cooling of detectors to cryogenic temperatures is critical for many terrestrial, airborne, and space based instruments. Cooling of solids by anti Stokes fluorescence is an emerging refrigeration technology that is inherently vibration free and compact, and enables cooling of small loads to cryogenic temperatures. In this Highlight, advances in laser cooling of solids are discusse...
متن کاملCryocoolers for Microsatellite Military Applications
Space qualified cryocoolers have been extensively developed for large military and commercial satellite electro-optical (EO) infrared (IR) missions, but not so for microsatellites due to the complexity of the thermodynamics and fluid mechanics of the mechanical refrigeration system. The trend in military responsive space programs is leaning towards microsatellites that are cheaper and faster to...
متن کاملNew materials for optical cooling
Well-characterized solid-state laser materials are evaluated for performance in optical refrigeration as well as radiation-balanced laser systems. New figures-of-merit are developed and applied to ytterbium-doped materials. Superior performance is predicted for high-cross-section tungstate materials. Photothermal deflection experiments on samples of Yb3+-doped KGd(WO4)2 confirm anti-Stokes fluo...

متن کاملMaterials Development for Next Generation Optical Fiber
Optical fibers, the enablers of the Internet, are being used in an ever more diverse array of applications. Many of the rapidly growing deployments of fibers are in high-power and, particularly, high power-per-unit-bandwidth systems where well-known optical nonlinearities have historically not been especially consequential in limiting overall performance. Today, however, nominally weak effects,...
