Photographic Technique in the Study of Internal Stresses in Laser Rods

Merritt M. Birky

Radiation pumping of a laser rod causes internal stress upon absorption of any of the radiation. A photographic technique has been developed to simultaneously record these stresses at two focal points, in order to determine the optical quality of lasers used for scientific and industrial research.
