The analysis of thermal effects in a diffusion bonded Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ :glass/Co 2+ :MgAl 2 O 4 microchip laser is presented. The analysis is performed for both wavelengths at 940 nm and at 975 nm as well as for two different sides of pumping, glass side and saturable absorber side. The heat sink effect of Co 2+ :MgAl 2 O 4 , as well as the impact of the thermal expansion and induced stress on the diffusion bonding are emphasised. The best configurations for reducing the temperature peaks, the Von Mises stresses on the diffusion bonding, and the thermal lensing are determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
