Abstract. The temperature distribution in a parallelepipedic crystal irradiated with a Gaussian repartition of light is calculated by solving the three-dimensional heat equation and taking into account the losses through the sides of the samples. The theoretical and experimental maps of temperature are satisfactorily compared. For barium titanate crystals, the resistance to intense cw laser (25.7 kW/mm2 at 514.5 nm) and to Nd:YAG pulsed laser (peak power of 9.2 MW at 532 nm) is investigated. The defects induced by the irradiation are analysed. Under pulsed illumination, the damage threshold is found to be 0.54 GW/cm2 in a nominally undoped BaTiO3 and 0.44 GW/cm2 in a rhodium-cobalt doped BaTiO3 crystal.
