We present a new theoretical scheme for laser cooling of rare earth doped solids with optical super-radiance (SR), which is the coherent, sharply directed spontaneous emission of photons by a system of laser excited rare earth ions in the solid state host (glass or crystal). We consider an Yb3+ doped ZBLAN sample pumped at the wavelength 1015 nm with a rectangular pulsed source with a power of ~433W and duration of 10ns. The intensity of the SR is proportional to the square of the number of excited ions. This unique feature of SR permits a dramatic increase in the rate of the cooling process in comparison with the traditional laser cooling of the rare earth doped solids with anti-Stokes spontaneous incoherent radiation (fluorescence). This scheme overcomes the limitation of using only low phonon energy hosts for laser cooling.
