Numerical Simulation of Thermo-Optic Effects in an Nd: Glass Slab with Low Thermally Induced Wavefront Distortion
A gain slab configuration with a low thermally induced wavefront distortion, which is based on heating the edge by the cladding layer, is proposed. The gain slab will be applied to a helium-cooled Nd: glass multislab laser amplifier with an output of 100 J at a repetition rate of 10 Hz. Additionally...
