Abstract
Laser amplifiers can be modeled by the photon transport equation. A numerical method for the 3-dimensional solution of this equation is presented for the amplification of long laser pulses. The method allows an arbitrary time step selection independent of the spatial discretization. It can be used for the simulation of long chirped laser pulses in solid-state lasers. The 3-dimensional simulation on a finite volume grid allows for taking into account a given pump configuration. Numerical simulation results are presented.
