Cystal end temperature distribution under different pumping light in solid state laser
不同抽运光分布下端面抽运固体激光器中晶体的端面温度分布研究

In order to study how different pumping light profiles affect the crystal end temperature field, a classification creterion is suggested, according to which the pumping light can be classified as column light, Gaussian light and plane top light. The end temperature under different pumping power and different pumping light focus diameter are studied.It was found that the end temperature is the highest under the column pumping light, intermediate plane top pumping light and lowesl under Gaussian pumping light when the pumping light has the same power and the same focus diameter.It shows that the pumping light profile can seriously affect the crystal end temperature field. Finally the effect of the thermal effect caused by the end temperature was studied, which was found to affect the laser quality seriously. When the equivalent curvature radius of the thermal lens changes from 85 to 150mm, the far field walk-off angle and waist diameter become larger and larger and the laser works unsteadily.
