Using COMSOL Multiphysics, we simulate free convection along a pumped active mirror amplifying medium. We study the induced boundary layers and how it affects the wave front propagation. To comfort our simulations, we set up a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to characterize and measure the local variation of air refractive index and temperature.
