Simulating heat generation in the monoblock laser using finite element analysis
Under photonic pumping Nd:YAG (Neodymium Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) generates a significant amount of heat as a result of quantum deficit and non-radiative absorption sites, this excess heat results in thermal deformation and a shift in the index of refraction of Nd:YAG causing a net change in Optical...
