Using vibronic transitions in rare-earth doped crystals as a case-study, we present detailed analysis for the optimum operation of radiation-balanced lasers. In particular, conditions for achieving highest output power and highest optical-to-optical efficiency in Yb:YAG and Yb:YLF thin disc RBLs are given. Finally, we extend our analysis to two-tone RBL systems involving Ho-Tm doped crystals.
