Efficiency and beam quality enhancement of high-power lasers require effective thermal management. In order to determine the temperature distribution in double-cladding high-power continuous wave fibre lasers, the heat transfer equation is analytically solved. Using the exact derived temperature distributions, the ultimate pump power before thermal damage, which is one of the key subjects of consideration in high-power laser design, is achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
