ABSTRACT:
The cooling of the outer surface of the rod or other solid active element of a solid state laser is improved by causing coolant to travel in a plurality of, preferably streamline, helical flows extending around this surface in contact with it. The respective longitudinal components of a pair of the helical flows preferably extend in opposite directions along the surface to improve the uniformity of cooling.
