Numerical thermal model of diode double-end-pumped Solid State lasers
Hisham M. Ahmed1, Mohammed J. Abdul Razzaq2, Abdulla. K. Abass3.
In this work, a numerical analysis based on finite element method (FEM) has been used to
predict both the temperature distribution and focal length in CW Nd:YAG laser rod. The
double end-pumped utilizing two different pumping profiles, namely, Gaussian and super-
Gaussian beam profiles are adopted in this simulation. In addition, four different super-
Gaussian beam profiles (N = 4, 6, 10, 30) have been studied and compared with the
Gaussian (N = 2) pump profile. At Gaussian pumping power of 40 W (20 W for each face),
maximum center temperature is observed for each face of the two end-pumped faces were
found, and start to decrease in the super-Gaussian case as the exponent factor N increases.
The thermal lensing effect strongly depends on different factors, namely, power of the
pump source, and distribution profile of the pump through the laser medium geometry.
Therefore, the double-end-pumped method may be considered as important to reduce
temperature gradiant in the laser rod while choosing the type of pumping profiles.
