Abstract

Optical refrigeration of rare-earth doped crystals has exceptional qualities that can be used for building a compact and vibration-free all-solid-state optical cooler. Estimating the lowest achievable temperature and cooling power of such a device requires accurate measurements of external quantum efficiency, mean fluorescence wavelength, and parasitic absorption. Here we discuss temperature dependent measurements of these parameters for a high quality Yb:YLF sample by performing a LITMoS test (Laser Induced Temperature Modulation Spectrum) combined with contact-free differential luminescence thermometry. These measurements are challenging at low temperatures, but by integrating these two methods, we can perform LITMoS test at any temperature.
