Thermal lensing in end-pumped Nd:YAG under lasing and non-lasing conditions

Thermal lensing in end-pumped Nd:YAG under lasing and non-lasing conditions
Thermal lensing in end-pumped Nd:YAG under lasing and non-lasing conditions
Interferometric measurements and finite-element calculations of thermal lensing in end-pumped Nd:YAG demonstrate that interionic upconversion significantly increases lens power and, hence, aberrations under non-lasing conditions. This has strong implications for Q-switched and amplifier operation.

Abstract

Interferometric measurements and finite-element calculations of thermal lensing in end-pumped Nd:YAG demonstrate that interionic upconversion significantly increases lens power and, hence, aberrations under non-lasing conditions. This has strong implications for Q-switched and amplifier operation.
