I just don't see where the
refractive index matching comes into the picture.
Supposing it is a fiber bundle, the coolant may be given the same RI as
the cladding to allow better coupling between drivers and lasing medium
- instead of shooting the drive beam down the fiber cladding (as in
conventional fiber lasers) you could just irradiate the whole bundle
from the sides.
But I know very little about >1kW or military lasers.
