Silicon carbide cladding slab based laser cooling device

Abstract

A silicon carbide cladding slab based laser cooling device is disclosed. The cooling device includes two silicon carbide slabs, two heat sinks and two fans. The first and the second silicon carbide slabs are respectively diffusion bonded to both sides of a Nd:YVO4 active material of a laser; the first and the second heat sinks are disposed on outer sides of the first and the second silicon carbide slabs, respectively; the first fan is facing the first heat sink and the second fan is facing the second heat sink. The present invention facilitates the operation and miniaturization of a high-energy Nd:YVO4 slab laser at room temperature and ensures a stable high-energy laser output of the slab laser, thus providing a solution for its commercialization.
