| Determining the optimum pumping power to prevent thermal fracture of a crystal is one of the important processes in modeling the solid state lasers. In this research, FEM method is employed to obtain the thermal distribution and thermal stress due to end-pumping in a Nd:YLF crystal with 1% doping concentration in a close condition to Q-switching. Results show that the non-dimensional fracture location is in good agreement with its available experimental counterpart. |
