Abstract
When modeling the behavior of solid state lasers, it is common practice to model energy transfer processes by using an "average" energy transfer parameter [1,2]. Although rigorous analytical treatments of energy transfer theory do not support the use of average transfer parameters[3], their use can often be justified under certain conditions and can greatly simplify the solution of the dynamic equations.
