3.1 Example 1: improving laser rod cooling
3.1.1 Presentation of the problem
A 4 mm x 20 mm holmium-YAG crystal rod is surrounded by a hollow plastic shell, in which water at 20°C circulates (figure 14 ). The shell is mechanically held in place by the sides in the mid-plane. A continuous 120 W laser, at a wavelength of 2 μm, pumps the rod over a diameter of 410 μm for a small-signal gain of 7. More than 80% of the...
