دانلود کتاب Optical Refrigeration: Science and Applications of Laser Cooling of Solids

Edited by the two top experts in the field with a panel of International contributors, this is a comprehensive up-to-date review of research and applications. Starting with the basic physical principles of laser cooling of solids, the monograph goes on to discuss the current theoretical issues being resolved and the increasing demands of growth and evaluation of high purity materials suitable for optical refrigeration, while also examining the design and applications of practical cryocoolers. An advanced text for scientists, researchers, engineers, and students (masters, PHDs and Postdoc) in laser and optical material science, and cryogenics.Content: Chapter 1 Optical Refrigeration in Solids: Fundamentals and Overview (pages 1–32): Richard Epstein and Mansoor Sheik?BahaeChapter 2 Design and Fabrication of Rare?Earth?Doped Laser Cooling Materials (pages 33–74): Markus P.
