Abstract

We developed a computer model for simulating real solid state laser systems, by solving the paraxial wave Eq.s in the multi-physics modeling software FEMLAB. The reflection of the laser on the curved cavity mirror is calculated by an analytical method. This model was verified to be able to give very accurate results, by applying it to empty stable and unstable resonators, and a face pumped Yb:YAG disk stable resonator laser.
