摘要：

The flow, heat transfer, and optical characteristics of the gas cooled slab solid-state disk laser geometry are experimentally and numerically addressed. Such a configuration has applications in solid-state laser fusion drivers. Data on viscous and thermal boundary-layer development in an asymmetrically heated channel are presented showing the large cooling variations that occur during thermal development. The flow related cooling variations are then directly related to optical distortions in the laser slab. It is shown that the flow can be properly conditioned such that the optical distortions due to cooling effects will be small enough to make average power solid-state laser fusion drivers possible.
