✦ Synopsis

The pump energy distribution in a diode side-pumped solid-state laser, is an overlap of propagating Gaussian beams. A simple model has been developed to calculate the thermal focal length of a diode side-pumped solid-state laser, which is based on a thermal model with a Gaussian heat density in any cross section of a laser rod. It can be seen that as the waists of pump beams increase, the energy distribution tends to be uniform and the thermal focal length tends to be long, which means a smaller thermal focusing.

A green laser with output power 15 W at 515 nm is introduced, which was based on an extra-cavity frequency doubling of a corner-pumping Yb:YAG slab laser, with pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz and pulse duration of ∼150 ns, using an acousto-optic Q-switcher. An LBO crystal was used as nonlinear cryst
