1. A method of fabricating a quantum dot cooling system for a surface using a vacuum housing, a bandpass filter, and a lens to move photons to a fiber optical cable, comprising: mixing quantum dots in a polymer to form a quantum dot matrix; applying a reflective backing layer to the quantum dot matrix to direct any emitted photons away from the surface to be cooled; placing the quantum dot matrix in the vacuum housing; positioning a bandpass filter to receive any emitted photons and direct photons to the lens; and positioning the lens to receive any emitted photons from the bandpass filter and focus photons to the fiber optical cable.
