Abstract
Radiation balancing has been suggested as a possible path for heat mitigation, especially because Yb-doped silica has been recently shown to be amenable to solid-state refrigeration. In this work, we characterize a Yb-doped silica fiber preform and extract its laser cooling related parameters. We show that a fiber drawn from this preform is suitable for designing radiation-balanced fiber lasers (RBFLs). Numerical simulations based on measured values support such an observation.
