Modeling of the 3D spatio-temporal thermal profile of joule-class -based laser amplifiers
Issa Tamer,Sebastian Keppler,Jörg Körner,Marco Hornung,Marco Hellwing,Frank Schorcht,Joachim Hein,Malte C. Kaluza +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed, spatio-temporal numerical simulation was constructed and tested for accuracy against surface thermal measurements of various end-pumped -doped laser-active materials, and the model was successfully applied to a joule-class -based amplifier currently operating in the POLARIS laser system at the FriedrichSchiller University and Helmholtz-Institute Jena in Germany.
On the use of photoelastic effect and plane strain or plane stress approximations for the description of thermal lensing
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermally induced birefringence of sesquioxide class m3 laser rods was investigated. But the results of the experiments were limited to the case of the YAG crystal and were not applicable to other classes of cubic crystals.

Megawatt peak power, 1 kHz, 266 nm sub nanosecond laser source based on single-crystal fiber amplifier
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the realization of a UV source based on the fourth harmonic generation with LBO/BBO of a Nd:YAG passively Q-switched oscillator amplified in a single-crystal fiber.
Impurity concentration and temperature dependence of the refractive indices of Er^3+doped ceramic Y_2O_3
TL;DR: The refractive indices and thermo-optic coefficients for varying concentrations of Er3+ doped polycrystalline yttria were measured at a variety of wavelengths and temperatures and some consequences relating to thermal lensing are discussed.

Photonic crystal rod-based high-performance ultrafast fiber laser system
TL;DR: In this article, a rod-type photonic crystal fiber-based chirped pulse amplification (CPA) system, mainly including a frequency-reduced all-fiber pre-amplification stage, photonic-crystal rod-based main amplification stage, and 1600 lines/mm transmission grating-pair compressor, was developed.
