Abstract: Numerical calculations are reported of thermooptical distortions of nonlinear ADP, LiNbO₃, KDP nonlinear crystals used in second-harmonic generation. The elasto-optical effect is taken into account. The calculations are made for crystalline samples in the form of circular cylinders in which a steady-state parabolic temperature field is established.
