Description

A kind of anti-stokes fluorescent cooling method
Technical field
The invention belongs to the laser cooling technical field, relate to a kind of green light semiconductor (LD) of utilizing and induce rare earth erbium ion (Er 3+) glass material that mixes carries out the method for the parallel refrigeration of two kinds of anti-Stokes fluorescences.
Background technology
Anti-stokes fluorescent cooling is to utilize the laser excitation sample, takes away a kind of optical refrigerating mode of molecular vibration heat energy through the emission anti-Stokes fluorescence.Because what the incident pump light adopted usually is the good laser of monochromaticjty, so anti-stokes fluorescent cooling is also referred to as laser cooling.Compare with the liquid circularly cooling with gas compression refrigeration; Laser cooling has the characteristics of total solids, Full-optical; The laser refrigerator that constitutes has that volume is little, in light weight, friction, pollution-free, noiseless, electromagnetic-radiation-free and reliability advantages of higher, has broad application prospects in fields such as military affairs, space satellite, microelectronics, low-temperature physics and engineering and biomedicines.
At present, the focus of laser cooling research mainly concentrates on the laser cooling of rear-earth-doped solid material in the world, and solid material commonly used mainly comprises rare earth doping transparent medium (glass, crystal and optical fiber) and semi-conducting material.Wherein, Because rare earth ion has abundant level structure and high fluorescent radiation transition quantum efficiency; Each energy level can produce Stark (Stark) splitting in host material, rare earth ion f-f transition emission and absorbing wavelength narrow range, and emission and absorptive transition wavelength receive the influence of material little; Make rear-earth-doped solid material realizing demonstrating remarkable advantages aspect the laser cooling, enjoy scientific research personnel's extensive concern.
In rear-earth-doped solid material laser cooling research, adopting maximum refrigeration centres is rare earth ion Yb 3+And Tm 3+, all to be sub-energy levels of Stark splitting of utilizing the first excited state energy level realize anti-stokes fluorescent cooling, the i.e. refrigeration mechanism of traditional approach to the emission of ground state level for it.Er 3+Be in recent years by another important laser cooling center of extensive concern, utilize Er 3+Carry out laser cooling and mainly comprise the refrigeration of two kinds of approach: the one, the refrigeration of traditional approach; Two are based on the refrigeration of changing the mechanism---utilize Er 3+Ground state 4I 15/2And excitation state 4I 9/2With 2H 9/2Energy level wavelength be under the light action of the 860nm left and right sides on switching emission realize.The refrigeration of wherein utilizing traditional approach than on the refrigeration of changing the mechanism more effective.
Although the research of present rear-earth-doped solid material laser cooling has obtained very big progress, there is following shortcoming in the refrigeration mechanism of traditional approach:
(1) kind of selectable host material is limited.In order to satisfy the condition of traditional approach laser cooling, must adopt material to make matrix with extreme high purity and low phonon energy, the host material of report mainly is confined to halide glass or crystal at present.The method for preparing these materials is more complicated and need under certain protection atmosphere, carrying out mostly, and this has increased preparation technology's the complexity and the manufacturing cost of product undoubtedly greatly.In addition, compare with oxide material, the chemical stability of haloid material is relatively poor, and the scope of halide system formation glass is narrower, therefore for the halide glass of specific system, is difficult to adjust Er through changing matrix components 3+Optical transition character, this has also just limited laser cooling and has used Er 3+The selectable range of dopant material.
(2) for the laser cooling of traditional approach; The sub-energy level of multiplet of the first excited state energy level Stark splitting that it adopts is little to the transition probability difference of the sub-energy level of multiplet of ground state level Stark splitting; Anti-Stokes luminescence efficient is lower, therefore, is unfavorable for realizing high efficiency refrigeration.
(3) energy level spacing that is used for the rare earth ion of laser cooling at present is confined to 6000-10500cm -1Between, this just requires pump light is infrared light, and defective in the host material or trace impurity will produce parasitic heat to the absorption of pumping infrared laser, cause material temperature to raise, and therefore are unfavorable for the raising of refrigerating efficiency.
Summary of the invention
The problems referred to above to prior art exists the objective of the invention is on the basis that makes full use of commercial green glow semiconductor LD, but provide a kind of expanded laser light cooling Er 3+The range of choice of dopant material, the easy anti-stokes fluorescent cooling method that realizes high efficiency refrigeration.
For realizing above-mentioned purpose, technical scheme of the present invention is following: a kind of anti-stokes fluorescent cooling method may further comprise the steps:
A, pumping process: select and erbium ion Er 3+Ground state 4I 15/2The high Stark energy level and the excitation state of energy level 4S 3/2The green laser excited sample that the low Stark energy level difference of energy level is complementary makes excitation state 4S 3/2The low Stark level population of energy level;
The thermal relaxation process I of B, absorption phonon: population is to excitation state 4S 3/2The mode that a part of electronics of the low Stark energy level of energy level passes through to absorb the phonon thermal relaxation is in excitation state 4S 3/2Carry out heat distribution on the sub-energy level of each Stark of energy level;
