Abstract
When a dye solution is excited in the anti-Stokes region, the photons of fluorescence have a higher energy than the photons absorbed. The additional energy of the emitted photons would be taken out of the heat reservoir of the solution: Its temperature should decrease. It can be shown that such cooling does not violate the second law of thermodynamics.
