Abstract
For powers exceeding a sharp threshold in the vicinity of several hundred watts the beam quality from some narrow bandwidth fiber amplifiers is severely degraded. We show that this can be caused by transverse thermal gradients induced by the amplification process.Year: 2011 PMID： 21643276 DOI： 10.1364/OE.19.010180
