S18-285 Compact, Self-Cooling, Rare-Earth Doped Fiber Laser Stanford researchers leveraged anti-Stokes fluorescence cooling to design a compact, self-cooling fiber laser. Rare-earth (erbium, ytterbium, etc.) doped optical fibers are attractive optical gain providing devices (i.e. Michel Digonnet Jennifer Knall
