Paper Abstract
We report on high beam quality diode end-pumped Q-switched Yb:YAG laser with elliptical cavity mode configuration
operating at 1÷100 kHz repetition rates. Laser coupler transmittance optimization in CW is carried out. Measurements of
thermal lens in laser active element by means of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor are presented. It is shown that
thermal lens in such laser is highly astigmatic. We have also measured laser beam quality parameter M2, which does not
exceed 1.2 value at the highest pump power.
