Cubic crystals; double-end-pumping; thermal effects.

Thermal effects of a double-end-pumped cubic Nd:YVO₄ laser crystal are investigated in this paper. A detailed analysis of temperature distribution and thermal stress in cubic crystal with circular shape pumping is discussed. It has been shown that by considering the total input powers as constant, the double-end-pumped configurations with equal pump power can be considered as having a minimum thermal effect with respect to the other end-pumped configuration.
