摘要
The idea of cooling a solid-state optical material by simply shining a laser beam onto it may seem counterintuitive, but this is rapidly becoming a promising technology for future cryocoolers. Here, we chart the evolution of the science of optical refrigeration in rare-earth-doped solids and semiconductors from its origins through to the present day.
