Thermal lensing induced by end-pumped 1.5 at %Nd : YVO4 laser crystal
The aims of the research is to study the thermal lensing induced by end-pumped 1.5 at % Nd:YVO4 Laser crystal. Diode laser centered at 808 nm was employed as an optical pumping source. Using CCD camera, the laser beam spot was recorded. And it was found that the beam spot diameter linearly increased...
