Average power effects in parametric oscillators and amplifiersAverage power effects relative to the operation of parametric oscillators and amplifiers have been calculated. Temperature gradients have been calculated for both radial and longitudinal heat extraction. In many instances, the thermal load on a parametric oscillator is higher than the thermal load on a parametric amplifier with the same pump power. Having one or both these wavelengths resonant increases the chances that a generated photon will be absorbed by the nonlinear crystal. Temperature profiles and thermal diffusion time constants have been calculated for Gaussian beams, given the heat-deposition rate. With radical heat extraction the temperature profile can be expressed in a power series or approximated by a Gaussian distribution function.
