Abstract

Abstract

In order to study the influence of the gas flow channel structure on the output performance of the flowing-gas diode pumped alkali laser (FDPAL), this article combines the FDPAL theoretical model with the FDPAL mid-gas heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and laser dynamics process using side pumping. Rb vapor FDPAL (Rb-FDPAL) was the simulation object, and the impacts of the gas flow direction, the cross-sectional area, and the runner's shape on the Rb-FDPAL’s output performance were analyzed. The results show that the adoption of the horizontal flow method, by increasing the cross-sectional area of the flow channel and setting a masonry structure as the connection between the gas flow channel and the steam pool, effectively suppresses the vortex in the vapor, increases the gas flow rate, and decreases the thermal effect of the steam pool. Rb-FDPAL's laser output power and slope efficiency are higher, and the simulation results are consistent with the experiment.
