Thermo-optical modeling of flashlamp-pumped zig-zag slabs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6289203

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