Optical Inhomogeneities in Pumped Lasers. Volume 2
Abstract
The conclusions to be drawn from this effort are, therefore, that for 1000 j/sq cm the thermal distortion problem is severe for present glasses and configurations. The analysis, however, suggests two procedures which would lead to improved athermalization. Two of the steps in these procedures, glass cladding of rods and athermalization of the laser core have been shown to yield substantial gains.
