摘要：

The thermal lensing effect induced by high-power diode pumping in the grazing incidence side-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser geometry is numerically modeled and analyzed. The 3D temperature distributions and the correspondent thermally induced lens in Nd:YVO4 crystal are calculated for the straight and zig-zag paths of the laser beam. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
