A thermal birefringence compensator for a double pass laser system, which includes a polarization (300) or conventionally (500) outcoupled laser resonator, a gain medium (200) and a compensator (100) optically coupled to the gain medium (200). In one implementation, the compensator (100), which acts as an end reflector, includes a Benson prism (102), a first quarter waveplate (104) with its principle axes aligned to the fold axis of the Benson prism (102), and a second quarter waveplate (106) with its principle axes at 45° to the fold axis of the Benson prism (102). Alternatively, the compensation's prism can be a Porro prism (108).

L'invention concerne un compensateur de biréfringence thermique, destiné à un système laser à double passage, comprenant un résonateur laser découplé à polarisation (300) ou classique (500), un milieu amplificateur (200) et un compensateur (100) optiquement couplé au milieu amplificateur (200). Dans une réalisation, le compensateur (100), se comportant comme réflecteur d'extrémité, comprend un prisme de Benson, une lame (104) à premier quart d'onde dont les axes principaux sont alignés avec l'axe de symétrie du prisme de Benson (102), et une lame (106) à second quart d'onde dont les axes principaux forment un angle de 45 DEG avec l'axe de symétrie du prisme de Benson (102). Dans une autre réalisation, le prisme de compensation peut être un prisme de Porro (108).
