DYNAMIC OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF LASER MATERIALS

Abstract

The results of temperature profile investigations in DL quality Linde ruby using non-resonant interferometric techniques are described. This constitutes the first part of an overall study of dynamic optical distortions in laser materials. Other investigations will include gain profile studies as well as polariscopic measurements of strainbirefringence. Preliminary gain studies are presented.
