ABSTRACT:
A single crystal of rare-earth-doped lanthanum beryllate, whose crystal orientation is suitably chosen, provides a laser medium whose index of refraction is substantially independent of temperature. A laser using such a crystal as the laser medium displays little or no thermal lensing, thus permitting high power operation without wavefront distortion.
