Laser cooling of solids.

Author(s) : PETRUSHKIN S. V., SAMARTSEV V. V.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book focuses on the physics of cooling processes and the mathematical description of these processes and discusses the fundamentals of fluorescent cooling as well as the theory of laser cooling. The authors review previous experimental investigations in laser cooling and examine the progress towards key potential applications of laser cooling.
Extract from the table of contents: thermodynamic fundamentals of fluorescent cooling; theory of laser cooling; experimental investigations and fundamental restrictions; self-cooling of active elements of solid-state lasers; laser cooling of solid-state information media of optical echo-processors; problems of cooling solid-state quantum processors.
