Pressure Tuning of Thermal Lensing: Application to High Brightness Source Development

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The development of high power diode-pumped solid-state lasers (DPSSL's) with diffraction limited beam quality has been significantly hampered by pump induced inhomogeneous temperature profiles in the laser gain medium which results in thermal lensing and birefringence.
