摘要
We consider the cooling of a semiconductor crystal through its absorption of narrow-band laser light and subsequent spontaneous emission of photons with frequencies exceeding that of the absorbed photons. The energy deficit is covered by the thermal energy. Numerical estimates show that such cooling is feasible.
