Heating Effect of DF Laser Unstable Cavity Window and Its Effect on Far-Field Light Spot,

Abstract

We calculated the temperature rise and phase change of CaF(2) window of unstable cavity DF lasers. The effects on far field optical spot with or without beam expanding system were considered. The result of numerical calculation is given in this paper.
