Abstract
In this work, a temperature-dependent analytical model was modified to predict the thermal effects of diode laser double–end-pumped cylindrical laser rod under Gaussian pump beam distribution. Heat load and temperature distribution were analyzed using the Kirchhoff integral transform method. Results show that a maximum temperature difference of approximately 69.61 K was obtained on each side face of the laser rod at a maximum power of 40 W (equally divided on each face). The total thermal focal length of approximately 34.64 mm was calculated under the Gaussian pumping profile. The finite element method code incorporated with well-verified software was used to numerically verify the obtained results, where the analytical and numerical results are highly matched. The results reveal that the total thermal focal length produced in a double–end-pumped geometry is two times less than that obtained from a single-end-pumped geometry.
