We have developed a diode-pumped Yb:YAG ring laser with high beam quality only applying a highly doped Yb:YAG crystal that is pumped directly into the upper lasing level. The laser produces a practically diffraction-limited Gaussian beam, whose horizontal and vertical M2 factors are 1.50 and 1.26, respectively.
