    • Anisotropy of the photo-elastic effect in Nd : KGd(WO4) 2 laser crystals 

      Loiko, P. A.; Savitski, V. G.; Kemp, A.; Pavlyuk, A. A.; Kuleshov, N. V.; Yumashev, K. V. (Wiley, 2014)
      The anisotropy of thermal lensing and the photo-elastic effect is characterized for diodepumped Nd : KGd(WO4)2 crystals cut along the Np and Ng optical indicatrix axes and along its optical axis, O = Ng + 43°, at a laser wavelength of 1067 nm. Distortions in the spatial profile of the output laser beam are analyzed. The thermal lens is astigmatic; the orientation of its principal ...

    • Thermal lens study in diode pumped Ng- and Np-cut Nd:KGd(WO4)2 laser crystals 

      Loiko, P. A.; Yumashev, K. V.; Kuleshov, N. V.; Savitski, V. G.; Calvez, S.; Burns, D.; Pavlyuk, A. A. (Optical Society of America, 2009)
      A comparative study of thermal lensing effect in diode laser pumped Ng- and Np-cut Nd:KGd(WO4)2 (KGW) laser crystals was performed for laser emission polarized along the principle refractive axis, Nm. The thermal lens in the Ng-cut Nd: KGW was found to be weakly astigmatic with a positive refractive power for both the Nm- and Np-directions. For Np -cut Nd:KGW, strong astigmatism ...
