Abstract
A novel method is applied to measure the focal length of thermal lens of a CW Nd:YAG laser. Using resonator crit ical stable point G1 ? G2=0, by measuring output power as pumping power increasing, the laser rod thermal lens focal length fr of all rays polarized in radial direction and the thermal lens focal length fhof all rays polarized in tangential direction can be calculated. The method can also be used to obtain the average e?ective thermal lens focal length f. The method requires no special equipment and is simple to implement. The measuring deviation of the method comparing with probe beam method is within the accuracy that is in the range of ±10%. It is less than the unstable-resonator method that is in the range of ±20%. ? 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction
For high power laser operation, the focal length of thermal lens of laser crystal is a crucial param eter for optimizing the laser system. There are many techniques for measuring thermal lens focal length, such as using probe beam [1–4], interfero

metric method [5–7], unstable-resonator method [8–10], and transverse beat frequency method [11,12]. However, all these methods are used to measure the average thermal lens focal length. For perfect compensating thermal lens e?ect, it is more useful to know the thermal lens focal length r of all rays polarized in radial direction and the thermal lens focal length fhof all rays polarized in tangential direction.
In this paper, we present a novel method to measure thermal lens focal length of high power

CW Nd:YAG laser. The methods can measure not only the average e?ective focal length of thermal lens f, but also the focal length fr and fhof the ther mal lens. The idea is based on the dependence of the critical stable point on the equivalent G param eter of the stable resonator, which depends on the thermal lens. Our method requires no special equipment and is simple to implement.
2. Analysis of measure method
According to the theory of resonators [1], a res onator is stable if 1 6 G1G2 6 +1, where G1 and 2 are the G parameters describing the design of the resonator. For a resonator with optical ele ments inside, the rod can be approximated to ?rst order by a thin spherical lens of focal length f, and its G parameters are given as follows:
__ __
1 L1L2 1 ? a11 ? L2 L1 t L2 ? f ; e1T
2 f ? R1
__ __
1 L1L2
; e2T
2 ? a21 ? Lf 1 ? R2 L1 t L2 ? f
1
where a1 and a2 are the apertures of the mirrors, 1 and R2 are the radius of curvature of the mir rors, L1 and L2 are the distances from the principal planes to the mirrors, respectively.
The laser rod (of length l) can be approximated to a thin lens and two pieces of isotropic medium with refractive index n0 and length h. The parame ter h is the distance from the principal planes of the lens to the end of the laser rod [13], i.e., h = l/2n0.
In our experiments, ?at mirrors with identical apertures have been placed separately at equal dis tances from the Nd:YAG rod. Therefore, a1= a2, 1= R2, and L1= L2.
Eqs. (1) and (2) were simpli?ed as
1 ? G2 ? 1 ? L tel=2Te1 e1=n0 TT : e3T
f
Hence, the resonator stability is dependent only on the focal length of intra-cavity lens and length of the resonator.
The stability diagram of an optical resonator is shown in Fig. 1. Blank areas indicate regions of sta ble operation. The straight line (points A–C) corre-

sponds to a symmetrical resonator with an internal lens of di?erent focal length. Since the thermal lens of the rod is a function of input power, the con?gu ration of the equivalent resonator changes from plane parallel to confocal and ?nally to concentric. Beyond this point the resonator becomes unstable. The point B (in Fig. 1), corresponds to G1 ? G2=0, it is a critical stable point of resonator stable region. From Eq. (3), we have e?ective focal length:
f ? L tel=2Te1 e1=n0TT: e4T
At the critical stable point B, the focal length of the thermal lens f is the half of the resonator length. For a resonator length, the increment of output power will have a distinct decrease at the critical stable point as input powers increase. Us ing this method, we measured the thermal lens fo cal length with di?erent resonator lengths.
In fact, the critical stable point is not simply a point. It can be found that is actually a region for careful adjustment of input powers. It is well known that the thermal lens focal length can be ex pressed as [14]:

normally, there is fr/fh= 1.2–1.5 for Nd:YAG crys tal. So we can measure not only the average ther mal lens focal length f of the rod but also the radial and tangential direction thermal lens focal lengths r and fh, simultaneously.
3. Experiment and discussion
In our experiments, a B9mm · 155 mm AR coated Nd:YAG (science materials 0.8% Nd) laser rod was used in a di?use re?ecting cavity which was pumped by double Krypton ?ashlamps. The ?ashlamps were provided by a laser power supply rated up to 16 kW. The laser head was water cooled by a double cycle chiller, with constant ex periments temperature of 20 C(1 C). A plane parallel resonator with an output coupling mirror of 20.5% was used in the experiments. Two aper tures with a diameter of 9.5 mm were placed adja cent to the end of the laser rod, respectively.
The output power was detected by an Ophir Model 5000W-SH power meter. The critical stable points of the resonator were determined by de tected output power curve. The critical stable points were founded when the output power does not linear increase as input pumped powers in crease. In these experiments, the resonator align ment was strictly ensured. Every experiment curve was the average of detected output power as input pumped power changing from 0 to 16 kW and from 16 to 0 kW. For symmetrical resona tor with length in a certain extent, the experimen tal results were obtained by drawing the function curve of laser output power and pump input power. Fig. 2 shows the measurement results for relationship between the output laser power and the pump power with ?ve di?erent resonator lengths. In the curves, it can be found that the out put laser power increased linearly as pumping power increased at ?rst, and then appeared a knee point followed by a plateau region, then increased linearly again, ?nally a decrease to zero. The changing process corresponds to the straight line in Fig. 1, in which pumping power increased and the focal length of the rod changed, as well as the con?guration of the equivalent resonator chan ged from A point to B point and ?nally to C point.
Fig. 2. The measurement results for the output laser power vs. the pump power with a plane parallel resonator at resonator lengths of 584–1344 mm.
We could survey the experiment curves. When the ?rst knee point appears, the resonator enters the critical stable points (near B point). So in our ex periment curves, the output power decreased gen tly. According to (5), the e?ective focal length fhis relative to the pump power. At second knee, the resonator departs from the critical stable point, and the e?ective focal length is fr in relation to the pump power. Between the two knees, there is a plateau region and average the e?ective thermal lens focal length f is in the center of the region.

Fig. 4. E?ective focal length of YAG crystal as a function of lamp input power. The average focal length of experimental values are obtained by resonator critical stable points (.) and values obtained with a He–Ne laser ().
Using Eqs. (5) and (4), the e?ective thermal lens focal lengths fr, fh, and average f, can be calculat ed, respectively. The results are shown in Fig. 3.
In order to check the accuracy of the method, the measurement results were compared with those of probe beam method [3] with He–Ne laser in the same condition (Fig. 4). The values of the average e?ective focal length obtained with our method were a little higher than the values obtained with probe beam method, especial as pumping power increase and the focal length of the thermal lens decrease. The deviation is within the accuracy of the method, which is in the range of ±10%. The limitation for the accuracy of the measurement is attributed to the experiment deviation. The dis tance deviation of the two mirrors placed separate ly from the Nd:YAG rod. However, it is less than the unstable-resonator method [8] of ±20%.
4. Conclusion
We have presented a novel method to meas ure the average e?ective focal length of a ?ash-lamp-pumped CW Nd:YAG laser. Because critical stable points of stability resonator are used, the result is more precise than unstable-res-onator method, and the method is very simple. Especially for measuring the thermal lens focal length fr and fh, to our knowledge, this is the practical one so far.
