Abstract

We report laser-induced cooling with thulium-doped BaY₂F₈ single crystals grown using the Czochralski technique. The spectroscopic characterization of the crystals has been used to evaluate the laser cooling performance of the samples. Cooling by 3 degrees below ambient temperature is obtained in a single-pass geometry with 4.4 Watts of pump laser power at λ=1855 nm.
