Abstract

The refractive indices and thermo-optic coefficients for varying concentrations of Er³⁺ doped polycrystalline yttria were measured at a variety of wavelengths and temperatures. A Lorenz oscillator model was employed to model the room temperature indices and thermo-optic coefficients were calculated based on temperature dependent index measurements from .45 to 1.064 microns. Some consequences relating to thermal lensing are discussed.
