Abstract Directly measuring thermal focal length is important for designing and optimizing the mode locking oscillator, especially for a 2-μm mode-locking laser. In this paper, we propose a novel interferometric method for measuring the thermal focal length in a 2-μm mode-locking laser. This method could give a precise measurement of the thermal focal length inside a long-folded oscillator in both lasing and non-lasing operation. We also theoretically calculate the thermal focal length based on the temperature distribution inside the laser crystal, which matches well with the experimental result

We address the power scaling issue in end-pumped laser rod amplifiers by studying, experimentally and numerically, the magnitude of thermal lensing in a high-energy diode-pumped Yb:YAG crystal. The spatio-temporal temperature profile of the gain medium and the focal length of the induced thermal lens are determined numerically. The influence of the repetition rate and pumping power on the temperature distribution is analyzed. Experimental measurements covered repetition rates between 1 and 10 Hz and up to 4 kW pumping power.
