通过热沉积系数研究在激光提取条件下掺杂原子分数为1.0%的Nd：YAG陶瓷激光器中热沉积问题.热沉积系数定义为热沉积功率与激光器输出功率之比.在理论分析基础上,通过测量激光器斜率效率来间接测定热沉积系数,实验测定的热沉积系数值为0.63.建立激光提取条件下Nd：YAG陶瓷发热模型,讨论了影响热沉积系数的主要因素.结果表明：热沉积系数对Nd：YAG陶瓷的辐射量子效率、交叠效率以及激光提取效率的变化非常敏感.为有效减少介质内热沉积,在激光器优化设计中交叠效率和激光提取效率是需要着重考虑的参数.所得结果可为进一

The heat generation in Nd: YAG ceramic lasers under the conditions of laser extraction was investigated through the heat generation coefficient, which was defined as the ratio of heat generation power to laser output power. The heat generation coefficient of the 1.0% neodymium-doped YAG ceramic laser was calculated to be 0.63. The main factors which influences the heat generation coefficient were discussed in this paper, and the results showed that the heat generation coefficient was very sensitive to the changes in quantum emission efficiency, overlap efficiency and laser extraction efficiency. This work provides a reference for further research of thermal effect of Nd: YAG ceramic lasers.
