Abstract
Record laser cooling of Yb-doped silica by 18.4 K was recently observed in vacuum. There is a strong indication pointing to even stronger laser-cooling of Yb-doped silica. In light of these results, a radiation-balanced fiber laser in which cooling from spontaneous emission offsets waste heat generation appears more feasible than before. We will discuss the possibility of a radiation-balanced fiber laser, the similarities and differences with the conventional fiber lasers, and performance issues.
