Observation of Less Heat Generation and Investigation of Its Effect on the Stability Range of a Nd:YAG Laser
In a Nd 3+ laser rod, “less heat generation” due to intracavity beam reduces the thermal lensing power, but this phenomenon has never been considered in previous publications dealing with resonator stability. We observed this effect in a Nd:YAG resonator specially designed to keep the beam divergenc...

laser rod, “less heat generation” due to intracavity beam reduces
the thermal lensing power, but this phenomenon has never been considered in previous
publications dealing with resonator stability. We observed this effect in a Nd:YAG
resonator specially designed to keep the beam divergence insensitive to thermal
lensing, and investigated how this effect affects the stability range of this resonator. |
