Abstract

A finite-element method (FEM) wasused to simulate numerically the effect of thermal lensing in YAG rods doped with Nd ion using LASCAD software. The temperature distribution and thermal lensing focal length of the composite laser rod (YAG/Nd:YAG) with one undoped end cap was considered and compared with conventional laser rod (Nd:YAG) by applying software. Results show that thermal lensing effects were reduced by a factor of 2 using (YAG/Nd:YAG) composite rod at pump power of 20W.
