We show that engineering the 3D optical density of states of highly transparent solids can permit selective enhancement of anti-Stokes Raman scattering over Stokes scatte-ring. When implemented through a diamond-structure photonic crystal in silicon, laser cooling using pure Raman scattering can be achieved.
