The Los Alamos Solid-State Optical Refrigerator
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 physical principles of optical refrigeration.1 Design studies suggest that optical refrigerators with efficiencies comparable to other small cryocoolers should be realizable with existing technologies.2

Designs and Optical Tests of Thermal Links for an Optical Refrigerator
Dielectric mirror leakage at large angles of incidence limits the effectiveness of solid state optical refrigerators due to reheating caused by photon absorption in an attached load. In this paper, we present several thermally conductive link solutions to greatly reduce the net photon absorption. The Los Alamos Solid State Optical Refrigerator(LASSOR) has demonstrated cooling of a Yb+ doped ZBL...
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...
