Thermal Lensing and Multiwatt Microchip Laser Operation of Yb:YCOB Crystals

Thermal lensing is studied in monoclinic Yb:Ca<sub>4</sub>YO(BO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> (Yb: YCOB) oxoborate crystals cut along the optical indicatrix axes. For all orientations, the thermal lens is positive. In the Z-cut crystal, the sensitivity factors of the t...
