Estimate of some destabilizing factors influencing a controlled transparency made of yttrium orthoferrite

An estimate was obtained of the influence of laser radiation and large-amplitude (1.5 A) current pulses in the presence of a load resistance of the order of 1 Ohm on the increase in the temperature of the working medium of a controlled transparency made of yttrium orthoferrite. It was found that when this transparency was operated under normal conditions, the influence of the laser radiation and strong current pulses altered the temperature by 1-2 K. This change in temperature had no significant influence on the magnetooptic characteristics of the working medium of the transparency.
