Characterization of Absorption Losses and Transient Thermo-Optic Effects in a High-Power Laser System

Characterization of Absorption Losses and Transient Thermo-Optic Effects in a High-Power Laser System

(1) Background: The modeling, characterization, and mitigation of transient lasers, thermal stress, and thermo-optic effects (TOEs) occurring inside high energy lasers have become hot research topics in laser physics over the past few decades. The physical sources of TOEs are the un-avoidable residu...
