Laser Cooling
Large Scale Application of Quantum Scale Experiments | |
In experiments to reach temperatures near absolute zero, lasers are used to "trap" molecules and slow them down, thus reducing their temperature.
I recommend that a larger-scale version of this system be used to cool overclocked G- and CPU's. By slowing down molecules in the heat sink, it would be
able to absorb more heat from the processor, and thus allow better performance.

Are you expecting to get to a point that is so low there is no resistance and you don't really generate heat? |

While I am sure this is completely unworkable unless there is a magic point for processing.and you would be better off manufacturing cryogenic gasses the old fasioned way but I am pretty sure that you can recycle the used light by pumping it back into the laser. It is by definition these photons are higher energy (above the bandgap) I am imagining a vaccum chamber that is reflective to this wavelenth a two focus elipse with the gas and a mirror at one end and the lazing material at the other end. the Randomly scattered light pumps the lazing material depositing the heat there. conduct it away with a diamond rod or something have this all submerged. Unfortunatly if you cant catch all the light (a high enough percentate) with your lazing material it will hit your gas in exactly the wrong way. |

I have had this idea but there is never any long term usage where you worry about this garbage. I might be reading too much into this idea, but I love the subject. |

Do you have any indication that there is some magic point that you need that kind of cold? |
