A steady thermal model of photonic-bandgap fiber laser (PBFL) is presented. Temperature distribution in PBFL is analyzed by heat transfer equations and numerical finite-element method (FEM) separately. Thermal stress distribution caused by the temperature difference between the inner and outer claddings is calculated. The results show that the thermal stresses in this fiber structure are low less than the critical tensile stress in fused silica.
