华 中 科 技 大 学 硕 士 学 位 论 文 II Abstract The disk lasers are widely used in industry for its high efficiency, good beam quality, wide power range and relatively low operating costs. Most disk lasers use Yb:YAG crystals. However, because of their quasi-three-level system, their temperature sensitivity is high. With the temperature of Yb:YAG crystal increasing, the threshold value of the laser would rise, the slope efficiency would decrease, the misalignment tolerance of resonator would degrade and the output beam quality would be worse. The internal stress caused by the uneven distribution of the high temperature would lead to the rupture of the crystals. Therefore, the design of cooling system is critical for the development of the high power disk laser system. At first the structure of the cooling system is introduced. Then, the design and optimization of the subsystems are comprehensively discussed. The effect of tube diameter on the total head loss is explored theoretically and experimentally. The results show that if the tube diameter is doubled the head of delivery of the pump would decrease from 139m to 95m. According to the basic principle of the jet impingement and the theory of heat transfer, the structure of the cooling finger and heat sink is optimized by FLUENT and ANSYS Workbench later. Based on the former structure of cooling finger, the optimized structure of intake and outlet is designed. Because of the increase of the flow, the temperature of the disk would decrease. The simulation results about the jet impingement show that the shorter of the length of the pinhole and impinging distance, the higher of the cooling efficiency. If the heat source is square, the nozzle of arithmetic distribution pinhole aperture which has non-uniform heat transfer coefficient would keep the temperature of the disk crystal even. Also, it is discussed that the influence of the material and thickness of the heat sink and the arrangement of the rectangular fins on the cooling e
