Abstract
Summary form only given. We address important issues pertaining to optical refrigeration in semiconductors, including the cooling efficiency and lowest achievable temperatures. Specifically, we study the effects of many-body and Coulomb interactions, band-filling, and electron-phonon dynamics.
