Abstract

Thermal effect severely limits the output power and beam quality in high-power solid-state lasers systems. In solid-state lasers, most optical elements are cylindrical, such as laser medium, mirrors, and so on. Normally, thermal analysis is deduced based on the hypothesis that just one surface is cooled while the others are adiabatic. This paper presents semi-analytical formula of steady-state temperature field distribution, based on the hypothesis that both side surface and one end surface are cooled with different coefficients of heat transfer. Simulation results with Ansys confirmed the correctness of the above formula. The results are helpful to the study of thermal effect in disc laser, rod laser and reflective mirrors in high-power laser system.
