Coherent optical cooling of rare-earth-doped nanocrystals
Tatiana Vovk, Andrei V. Ivanov, Yu. Rozhdestvensky
We consider the translational optical cooling of Yb3+-doped nanocrystals by Raman optical pulses. We describe the coherent interaction between the optical pulses and impurity ions and estimate the temperature corresponding to the nanocrystal's transition into the macroscopic quantum state. Our cooling scheme can be applied in the fundamental studies on the properties of solid matter.
