300-W cryogenically cooled Yb:YAG laser

Thermooptic effects often limit the power and beam quality of bulk-solid-state lasers. Cryogenically cooled (/spl sim/100 K) Yb:YAG lasers have been previously demonstrated to have relatively low thermooptic effects and high efficiency due to improved material properties at low temperatures. In this...
