Abstract

Observed thermal lensing in AgGaSe_$2 and ZnGeP_$2 is compared with theoretical predictions of the thermal gradients and resulting laser beam aberrations. Accurate simulation of the thermo-optical behavior of these crystals is important for scaling high-average-power mid-IR 3-wave mixing applications.
