Anti-Stokes fluorescence cooling of a Yb-doped silica glass optical fiber preform is achieved using a high-power laser in a double-pass configuration. The coherent laser beam illuminates the silica glass preform in the red tail of its absorption spectrum, and the heat is carried out by anti-Stokes fluorescence of the blue-shifted photons. The high-purity Yb-doped silica glass preform has low parasitic absorption and is codoped with modifiers to mitigate the quenching-induced non-radiative decay for sufficiently high concentrations of Yb ions in silica glass. Therefore, sufficiently large laser absorption could be achieved to observe cooling while maintaining a near-unity external quantum efficiency.
