This review discusses the progress and ongoing efforts in optical refrigeration. Optical
refrigeration is a process in which phonons are removed from a solid by anti-Stokes …

Laser cooling of solids, sometimes also known as optical refrigeration, is a fast developing
area of optical science, investigating the interaction of light with condensed matter. Apart …

Although bolometric-and ponderomotive-induced deflection of device boundaries are widely
used for laser cooling, the electrostrictive Brillouin scattering of light from sound was …

We review the field of laser cooling of solids, focusing our attention on the recent advances
in cryogenic cooling of an ytterbium-doped fluoride crystal (Yb^ 3+: YLiF_4). Recently, bulk …

We demonstrate theoretically the possibility to achieve domination of anti-Stokes Raman
scattering enhancement over the Stokes one by means of photon local density of states …

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) enabled by the emerging gas-filled low-loss anti-
resonant hollow-core fiber (ARHCF) technology opens up a competitive way towards the …

Laser‐induced cooling or optical refrigeration of materials relies upon anti‐Stokes
fluorescence in which phonons are removed as radiation to induce cooling. The motivation …

This review covers the recent achievements in high-power rare earth (RE)-doped fiber
lasers, Raman fiber lasers, and Brillouin fiber lasers. RE-doped fiber lasers have many …

Laser-induced photodegradation of bulk optically-transparent polymers was probed under
laser irradiation at two-photon Raman resonance. The photodegradation effect was …

The progress on anti‐Stokes photoluminescence and Stokes and anti‐Stokes Raman
scattering in GaN single crystals and GaN/AlN heterostructures is reviewed. Anti‐Stokes …
