Abstract
The technical issues associated with the cooling of large aperture average Power solid-state laser disk amplifiers are addressed. The heat transfer requirements, their effect on optical distortion in the laser slabs and optical losses in the cooling stream, and the system efficiency penalty associated with the cooling flow are discussed. It is shown that it is possible to economically cool an average power solid-state disk amplifier in such a manner that cooling related optical distortions and flow induced optical losses are tolerable.
