We present a scheme, in which colloidal lead-salt PbSe QDs doped in a glass host are used for laser cooling with anti-
Stokes fluorescence. The relatively short (microsecond range) lifetime of the excited level of the PbSe QD allows the
cooling process to be accelerated, and new materials with higher phonon energy to be used as hosts, which are normally
considered unsuitable for cooling with rare-earth ions. The considerable increase (by ~104) in the absorption cross
section of PbSe QD in comparison with the absorption cross section of the rare-earth ions doped in glasses or crystals
increases the efficiency of the cooling process considerably, lowering the pump power requirements.
