Abstract :
The relationship between heat effect and the convective heat transfer coefficient using analytical heat transfer equations is studied. We point out that different convective heat transfer coefficients should be adopted according to different heat densities inside the laser crystal in order to obtain better pumping input as well as cooling effect
