Abstract
An approximate procedure is proposed for the determination of the effective width of a heat flux penetrating into a heat sink of a stripe-geometry diode laser. The procedure markedly reduces the computer work-time necessary for calculations of temperature profiles within diode laser crystals.
Zusammenfassung
Es wird ein Näherungsverfahren zur Bestimmung der effektiven Stärke eines Wärmestromes gegeben, der in die Kühlkörper eines streifenförmigen Diodenlasers eindringt.Das Verfahren senkt erheblich die zur Berechnung der innerhalb der Diodenlaserkristalle auftretenden Temperaturprofile notwendige Rechnerzeit.
