Thermal simulation analysis for slab laser amplifier based on microchannel heat sink
As is well known,thermal effect is a major bottleneck limiting the development of high-power and high-en-ergy lasers.During the process of producing high-energy lasers,a large amount of waste heat is generated,which af-fects the beam quality of high-energy lasers and even their normal operation.In order to ensure the stable operation of the high-energy laser and study the heat distribution state of its working material in the process of heat dissipation,this paper establishes a dual end water entry microchannel heat dissipation model for high-energy Zig-Zag Flat noodles la-ser amplifier.The heat dissipation of microchannel and cavity heat sink is compared under rated conditions using CFD simulation software.The variable parameters of the model are also studied:channel height,fin thickness,And the im-pact of water flow rate on heat dissipation performance.Simulation studies have found that the cooling effect of the mi-crochannel heat sink proposed in this article is better than that of full cavity water cooling.The microchannel heat sink controls the maximum temperature difference on the crystal surface within 4 ℃,and the surface temperature is al-so reduced by 32%;Optimizing channel parameters within the allowable range of pressure drop can further improve the cooling effect by 10%,achieving distributed and efficient heat dissipation of gain media.
