Abstract
The expression for temperature transients for optically pumped cylindrical laser rods has been derived. The earlier derivation of Chun and Bischoff was dimensionally incorrect. This anomaly has been rectified. The heating of the laser rod has been approximated by considering instantaneous generation of heat on the cylindrical surface.
