SOLID STATE LASER FOR SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS WITH COMPENSATION OF A THERMAL LENS IN THE CAVITY. II. METHOD AND RESULTS OF NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS

This article is the second part of our report on the study under the common title, the first part of which has the subtitle "I. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS". The series of two papers highlights the method of numerical optimization of the configuration of a laser resonator and its experimental verification. The described method makes it possible to calculate the focal lengths of corrective lenses and their location in the resonator based on the known parameters of the thermal lens and the given characteristics of the output laser beam by means of quasigeometric optics, with subsequent diffraction refining.
