Abstract

In this paper, thermal equation of high power laser output coupler is established, and analysis solution of the equation with its boundary value of the actual model is given. The temperature distribution of output coupler is obtained. Then the thermal lens of output coupler is calculated also. Otherwise, the beam quality of output laser is discussed. All of these problems are significant for high power laser design.
