A calculation is performed on the induced birefringence in a cylindrical garnet rod having a parabolic temperature distribution. An estimate is made of the effects of the induced anisotropy on the lasing performance and on the gain for linearly polarized radiation in a cavity containing a component in which the birefringence varies over the cross - section. The theoretical results are compared with experiment. The effects of residual stresses have been determined.
