摘要
We have experimentally studied thermal effects in highly pumped Ti:sapphire crystals in the 140-340 K temperature range. We demonstrate that a critical temperature exists, which depends on pumping and probing conditions, below which detrimental thermal effects completely disappear. In particular, we show that in a typical high-intensity Ti:sapphire amplifier, thermal lensing and wave-front distortions can be suppressed keeping the crystal temperature lower than similar to 230 K.
