Abstract
High energy pulsed, high average power laser systems producing diffraction limited beams are essential for various applications, such as pump sources for optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers, in the construction of laser driven X-rays sources and materials processing to name only a few. To achieve Joule level output energies, cryogenically cooled solid state amplifiers based on Yb-doped gain media have shown great potential due to the superior thermo-optic properties of the gain material [1].
