Abstract

We present an analytical model of temperature distribution, of thermal lensing and thermal distortion for a cylindrical mirror reflecting a large class of optical readout beams with a weak absorption rate in the coating. It is shown that non-traditional beam geometries could reduce the thermal lensing in the substrate and the thermal distortion of the surface by orders of magnitude.
