Abstract

The role of the electronic and thermal mechanisms to the process of refraction index changes in diode pumped Yb:GGG active disks have been studied while using highly sensitive interferometric technique. It was demonstrated that thermal and electronic components make comparable contributions to refraction index changes in Yb:GGG crystals under intensive pumping.
