  • Abstract
    We discuss resonator design issues for intracavity Raman lasers containing two independent, dynamic thermal lenses. Understanding thermal effects has enabled us to demonstrate record powers of 1.4 W at 578 nm and 1.7 W at 579 nm using LiIO3 and KGd(WO4)2 Raman crystal respectively.
