  • Abstract
    In this paper we suggest a scheme for an MID-IR athermal Raman fiber amplifier in which the heat generated in the SRS process is totally compensated for by anti-Stokes fluorescence of Yb3+ ions localised in the medium. The physical mechanism of radiation cooling by anti-Stokes fluorescence was originally proposed in 1929 by Peter Pringsheim and observed experimentally for the first time in 1995 by Epstein´s research team.
