Abstract
A device for cooling locally, including a cooling member, a crystal having the capacity to cool via absorption of a near-infrared exciting light signal, an illuminating system intended to deliver an exciting light signal, the crystal having an elongate shape about a longitudinal axis between a near end and a far end and having a closed constant outside cross section and containing a central channel formed, from its far end, over at least some of its length, the cooling member including a rod embedded via a first end into the central channel of the crystal and including a protruding second end that forms a cooling finger.
Claims16
A device for cooling locally, comprising:
- a cooling member,
- a crystal configured to cool via absorption of a near-infrared exciting light signal,
- an illuminating system configured to deliver an exciting light signal, wherein:
- said crystal has an elongate shape about a longitudinal axis between a near end and a far end, has a closed constant outside cross section, and contains a central channel formed, from the far end, over at least some of a length of the crystal,
- said cooling member comprises a rod embedded via a first end into said central channel of said crystal, and comprises a protruding second end that forms a cooling finger, and
- the illuminating system is further configured to generate said exciting light signal with an annular shape.
