Abstract
A theoretical model of continuous-wave -doped microchip lasers based on a quasi-four-level system is proposed, and it is applied to the Yb:YAG microchip laser. The theoretical results of calculations are in agreement with those of experiments. Several ways to improve the properties of -doped microchip lasers are described. This model is applicable not only to -doped microchip lasers but also to other quasi-four-level microchip lasers.
