Thermo-optical modeling of flashlamp-pumped Zig-Zag labs

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5658160

This article describes the thermo-optical mechanics of wave front phase distortions in flashlamp-pumped, convectively cooled zig-zag slabs. We identify, from both computations and laboratory measurements, the causes of beam phase distortions that are frequently observed in output beams from zig-zag slabs.
