Notes:
Various methods for compensating birefringence depolarization in solid-state rods are theoretically and experimentally analyzed and compared. Gaussian and flat top beam profiles are investigated. The efficiency in depolarization loss reduction using different techniques is discussed in terms of beam profile, rod fill factor, and thermal heat load. In Nd:yttrium–aluminum–garnet, the depolarization loss can be efficiently reduced below 5% with a compensating quarter-waveplate, up to 20 W heat load for a flat top beam and up to 70 W for a gaussian beam. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
