Abstract

Cooling via efficient emission of anti-Stokes photoluminescence can be utilized to realize novel cooling devices. It has been shown that rare earth-doped materials are good candidates for solid-state laser cooling because of their narrow emission spectra and discrete energy levels. We systematically study laser cooling efficiency of rare earth-doped oxide crystals. The photoluminescence spectrum evidences that the phonon-assisted energy transfer from resonant states to inhomogeneously distributed energy states sensitively depends on temperature. We discuss detailed properties of the cooling efficiency of Yb-doped yttrium aluminum oxide crystals and, furthermore, touch emission properties of their crystal thin films.
