固体热容激光器(SSHCL)作为高功率固体激光器的一个重要发展方向, 引起人们广泛关注。数值模拟激光介质板条在热容方式下工作的温度和应力分布是了解该类激光器工作特性的一种有效手段,采用平面应力近似法导出了半导体激光器抽运热容激光介质板的二维温度和应力分布公式,同时也对二维抽运光吸收密度、介质板温度分布和折射率变化进行了分析与讨论。数值计算的结果表明二维效应的温度分布和应力分布要比一维效应给出的分布更均匀。

The solid state heat capacity laser (SSHCL), as one of the most important high-power solid-state lasers, has attracted extensive attention. Numerical simulation of temperature and stress distributions of laser crystal slab in the heat capacity operation mode is a major means to understand the specific property of the laser. Using the method of plane stress approximation, the two-dimensional (2D) mathematical formulas that describe the temperature and stress distributions of laser diode (LD) pumped heat capacity slab laser are derived. Then the absorbed pump power density, 2D distributions of temperature and index of refraction are also analyzed and discussed. According to the results, the 2D distributions of temperature and stress are more homogeneous than that of the one-dimensional distributions.
