  • Abstract
    High-power lasers with laser power over 100-W are becoming essential tools in manufacturing. For this application field, high brightness lasers are demanded for high-quality materials processing. In this paper, the mechanism has been analyzed for a Nd:YAG rod laser related to the thermal lensing variation in the rod and a solution is proposed
