Heat deposition causes lensing and small-scale self-focusing. These thermal aberrations increase the beam size and reduce the available intensity. Ipeak = E A ?T We want a small focused spot size, but thermal aberrations increase the beam size, not to mention screwing it up, too. Now the average power matters. The repetition rate is crucial, and we’d like it to be high, but high average power means more thermal aberrations… Thermal Effects in Amplifiers Low temperature minimizes lensing. Calculations for kHz systems Cryogenic cooling results in almost no focal power In sapphire, conductivit
