Abstract: A cooling system for electrical and optical devices includes an electrocaloric cooler (EEC). A fluid circuit is in thermal communication with the EEC to dump heat from a working fluid of the fluid circuit into the EEC. The system can include a second EEC, a second fluid circuit in thermal communication with the second EEC to dump heat from a working fluid of the second fluid circuit into the EEC, and a second heat sink in thermal communication with the second fluid circuit to dump heat into the working fluid of the second fluid circuit. The second EEC, second fluid circuit, and second heat sink can be cascaded with the first EEC, first heat sink, and first fluid circuit wherein the second heat sink is in thermal communication with the first EEC to accept heat therefrom.
