Theoretical study of iterative pump number of diode pumped solid state laser

Abstract

A novel conception of iterative pump number was introduced in this work for the first time. Based on the conservation of energy, the equivalent model for the lasering of solid state laser was built up, the iterative pump number was calculated, and a formula for the output power of laser was given. This formula presented the relationships among the output power of laser, pumping power of diode and the thickness of laser medium. The output power predicted by this formula is consistent with experimental results, so this formula could be an important tool for the designing of parameter for diode pumped solid state laser.
