The recent reports of laser cooling in Yb-doped aluminosilicate fibers and silica preforms have opened up the field of optical refrigeration and radiation-balanced lasers to the enormous realm of silica fiber lasers and amplifiers. To increase the cooling efficiency achieved in these materials, it is critical to identify host compositions that improve the Yb³⁺-ion properties in the directions of low concentration quenching, short radiative lifetime, and a long-wavelength absorption tail that extends as far as possible above the zero-phonon line. In this on-going quest, nanoparticle-doped fibers offer a promising technique to modify the chemical environment of the Yb³⁺ ions and achieve some of these properties. In this work, three fibers in which the Yb³⁺ ions are initially encapsulated in CaF_2, SrF_2, or BaF₂nanoparticles were fabricated using a solution-doping technique, and their laser-cooling properties evaluated experimentally and analyzed. The CaF₂ fiber and the SrF₂ fiber were successfully cooled at atmospheric pressure when pumped with a continuous-wave laser at the near-optimum wavelength of 1040 nm. The measured maximum temperature change from room temperature was -26.2 mK for the CaF₂ fiber at a pump power absorption level of 90 mW/m, and -16.7 mK at 66 mW/m for the SrF₂ fiber. The BaF₂ fiber did not cool, but it warmed only slightly, indicating that it was not far from cooling. Analysis of the measured dependence of the fiber temperature change on pump power with a model enabled extraction of the fiber’s critical quenching concentration and residual absorptive loss due to impurities. Comparison of these values to the values reported for an aluminosilicate fiber and fiber preforms that cooled shows that the CaF₂ and SrF₂ fibers faired as well as the fiber, and better than the preforms, in terms of quenching, but that they had a higher absorptive loss. This study establishes the significant research potential of nanoparticle-doped fibers in the search for efficient laser-cooling silica hosts.
