Abstract
Optical refrigeration of a Yb:YLF crystal can be used to cool an arbitrary payload, utilizing a novel MgF2 thermal link in a completely vibration free optical cryocooler. We discuss the latest advances in the design and implementation of an astigmatic Herriott cell to optimize pump laser absorption in the cooling crystal, and are studying the adverse effects of absorption saturation. We investigate novel spectrally selective coatings of the clamshell to reduce the parasitic heat load on the crystal. By overcoming these challenges, we work towards cooling a silicon reference cavity to a temperature of 124 K.
