Abstract
An adaptive negative thermal lens that compensates for the power-dependent
positive thermal lens in a transversally diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser rod is p
resented. We demonstrate that the proposed technique leads to a reduction o
f the total thermal lens by more than an order of magnitude. (C) 2001 Publi
