Abstract
Interference effects caused by the passage through solids or liquids of a continuous-wave laser beam at 6328 Å are reported. These effects may cause serious distortion of the beam even at low laser power. The observations tend to support the view that these effects are due to heating. Measurements of the defocusing of the beam may be used to provide estimates of the small absorption coefficients of the materials.Keywords
