Abstract

A detailed investigation into the wavelength-dependent cooling efficiencies of two ultra-pure large core diameter ytterbium-doped silica fibers is carried out by means of the laser-induced thermal modulation spectroscopy (LITMoS) method. From these measurements, an external quantum efficiency of 0.99 is obtained for both fibers. Optimal cooling is seen for pump wavelengths between 1032 and 1035 nm. The crossover wavelength from heating to cooling is identified to be between 1018 and 1021 nm. The fiber with higher Yb3+ ion density exhibits better cooling, seen by the input power normalized temperature differential.
