Thermally induced local-depolarization in thin YAG ceramics for high-power lasers

Abstract

We investigate a spatially-distributed local-depolarization induced by thermal-birefringence for the power scaling in Nd: YAG ceramics. We found the variation of local-depolarization was dramatically increased when the thickness of ceramics becomes comparable to the grain size.
