Abstract :
Optical refrigeration is a solid-state cooling technology that has already achieved working temperatures of 114 K and is expected to cool below 80 K in the near future. This approach to cooling generates no vibrations and is immune to magnetic or electromagnetic interference. Furthermore, the coolers can be much lighter and more compact than mechanical coolers. At the minimum temperatures, the heat lift is about 1% of the input power.
