A model of thermooptical effects in laser ceramics is constructed, taking into account the random nature of the orientation of the crystallographic axes in the ceramic grains. Analytical expressions are obtained for the thermally induced phase, as well as its mean value and dispersion. The effect of modulation of the phase of a beam with a characteristic transverse size of the order of the grain size is predicted. It is shown that the deterioration of the beam quality parameters associated with this effect is inversely proportional to the ratio of the length of the ceramic element to the grain size. The effect of small-scale phase modulation in the cross-section of the beam has been experimentally demonstrated and studied using CaF2 ceramics as an example.

Methods of compensation for thermally induced depolarization of radiation in Faraday isolators have been studied and improved. A new scheme of a Faraday isolator with compensation for thermally induced birefringence, based on the use of an additional compensating element outside the magnetic field, is proposed.
