摘要
The absorption and emission properties of Yb3+- doped ZBLANP, BIGaZYT and QX/Yb phosphate glasses are studied to evaluate their potential for laser-induced fluorescent cooling or optical refrigeration. The efficiency of optical refrigeration increases with pump wavelength in the anti-Stokes region. The cooling efficiencies of the three glasses as a function of temperature are evaluated at the wavelength lambda(p) corresponding to the absorption coefficient of 10(-3) cm(-1). For temperatures <110 K, the cooling efficiency of the BIGaZYT glass may be more than twice that of the ZBLANP.
