摘要：
In this paper, the performance characteristics of diode-pumped miniature CW Yb:YAG laser such as the temperature distribution and thermal lensing effect inside laser rod, and cw laser output are investigated. The laser output power of 2.5 W with the slope efficiency of 48.6% and opt-optical efficiency of 19.8% at the absorbed pump power of 12.6 W are obtained in experiment.
