Abstract

The results of theoretical and experimental study of thermal lensing in diode-pumped Yb:YVO₄ laser crystal, Yb:Y₂O₃ and Yb:Sc₂O₃ laser ceramics are presented. Shown, that influence of thermo-lensing effect is necessary to consider for creation of effective high-intensity femtosecond Yb-doped laser systems.
