LiNbO3-Ho3+ crystal: material for optical cooling

  • 1. University of Texas, San Antonio (United States)

Description

Possibilities of LiNbO3-Ho3+ crystals for the optical cooling based on anti-Stokes luminescence in the wavelength range 2000-2200 nm are investigated. The values of efficiency and cooling temperature under continuous wave (CW) excitation at wavelengths 2035-2071 nm by ∼100 W power are estimated. It shown that under CW excitation at 2035 nm wavelength the maximum cooling temperature is 2.5 K, and for excitation at 2071 nm wavelength is 10.9 K
