A thermo elasto optical distortion model for the main amplifier of SG Ⅲ prototype is presented in this paper, which consists of three modules, i.e., modules of heat transfer, thermo elastics and optics. With this model, the residual thermal distortion of the main amplifier of SG Ⅲ prototype is investigated. The calculating results indicate that, with an optimization thermal recovery, the thermal gradient and the average temperature of the slab can be reduced to an acceptable value. The residual thermo optical distortions can meet the design requirements. Additionally, a quantitative relation between the thermal distortion and the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the laser gain medium have been also obtained.
