One of the questions the authors like to answer in this study is whether thermally induced problems in diamond tool arise as a result of ...Read more
Author:Bell, Teboho; Naidoo, Darryl; Forbes, AndrewDate:Jul 2014The effects of a temperature gradient in a laser crystal in an end-pumped configuration in a solid-state laser resonator results in thermally induced aberrations. Of particular interest we measure the thermally induced lens from the coefficient ...Read more
