Abstract :
Summary form only given. Calculations of the beam distortion expected in this geometry for both flattop and truncated Gaussian beams will be presented, as well as the measurements that include laser glasses at 1064 nm and fused silica and KDP at 1064 nm and 355 nm previous measurements of fused silica at 355 nm have exhibited a large spread; the present measurements are in agreement with the lower range of these values.
