We theoretically study prospects and limitations of a new route towards macroscopic scale laser refrigeration based on exciplex-mediated frequency up-conversion in gas filled hollow-core fibres. Using proven quantum optical rate equations we model the dynamics of a dopant-buffer gas mixture filling an optically pumped waveguide. In the particular example of alkali-noble gas mixtures, recent high pressure gas cell setup experiments have shown that efficient kinetic energy extraction cycles…

Laser cooling by collisional redistribution of radiation
TLDR
Laser cooling of an atomic gas based on collisional redistribution of radiation is experimentally demonstrated using rubidium atoms in argon buffer gas at a pressure of 230 bar, and relative cooling by 66 K is demonstrated.
Laser cooling of solids to cryogenic temperatures
Laser radiation has been used to cool matter ranging from dilute gases to micromechanical oscillators. In Doppler cooling of gases, the translational energy of atoms is lowered through interaction…
Laser cooling of a solid from ambient temperature
Abstract A 250 μm diameter fibre of ytterbium-doped ZBLAN was cooled by 13 K from room temperature. The cooling was performed in vacuum to limit the thermal load on the fibre. 0.85 W of laser light…
Cavity cooling a single charged levitated nanosphere.
TLDR
A new type of hybrid electro-optical trap formed from a Paul trap within a single-mode optical cavity is demonstrated, demonstrating a factor of 100 cavity cooling of 400 nm diameter silica spheres trapped in vacuum and paving the way for ground-state cooling in a smaller, higher finesse cavity.
Laser cooling of a solid by 65K starting from room temperature.
TLDR
In vacuo laser cooling of a solid from 301 to 236 K has been demonstrated, and measurement of the time constant for equilibration of the sample temperature is in excellent agreement with an analytic calculation of this quantity.
Laser cooling of a potassium–argon gas mixture using collisional redistribution of radiation
We study laser cooling of atomic gases by collisional redistribution, a technique applicable to ultradense atomic ensembles at a pressure of a few hundred bars. Frequent collisions of an optically…
Laser-induced cooling of broadband heat reservoirs
We explore, theoretically and experimentally, a method for cooling a broadband heat reservoir, via its laser-assisted collisions with two-level atoms followed by their fluorescence. This method is…
Solid-state optical refrigeration to sub-100 Kelvin regime
TLDR
The culmination of two decades of progress is presented, the record cooling to ≈ 91 K from room temperature, the first solid-state cooling below 100‬K below room temperature.
Condensed-phase optical refrigeration
We review progress on laser cooling of solids. The general process that enables cooling to occur is based on anti-Stokes fluorescence. Candidate materials for laser cooling are discussed, including…
Laser cooling of a diatomic molecule
TLDR
This work experimentally demonstrates laser cooling of the polar molecule strontium monofluoride (SrF) using an optical cycling scheme requiring only three lasers, and bridges the gap between ultracold (submillikelvin) temperatures and the ∼1-K temperatures attainable with directly cooled molecules.
