Paper Abstract
We present a study of cooling enhancement in optical refrigerators by the implementation of advanced non-resonant
optical cavities. Cavity designs have been studied to maximize pump light-trapping to improve absorption and thereby
increase the efficiency of optical refrigeration. The approaches of non-resonant optical cavities by Herriott-cell and totalinternal-
reflection were studied. Ray-tracing simulations and experiments were performed to analyze and optimize the
different light-trapping configurations. Light trapping was studied for laser sources with high quality beams and for
beams with large divergences, roughly corresponding to the output from fiber lasers and from diode lasers, respectively.
We present a trade-off analysis between performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
