• origin and dependencies of absorption and emission cross sections
• Ytterbium based laser media
• design of laser diode pump engines,
• special topics in geometrical optics for amplifier design
• basic calculations for layout of diode pumped high energy amplifiers
• Ytterbium based laser materials and cryogenic cooling
• limitations and special topics (laser induced damage threshold (LIDT), amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) … )

This is an application oriented course focusing on topics needed for development and design of diode pumped high energy class laser systems. Besides general topics the main part of this lecture is dedicated to ytterbium based laser systems. Besides basic knowledge like the spectral properties of laser materials and their significance for a laser system, further key topics like laser induced damage thresholds, laser diode pump engines, modeling of amplification and amplified spontaneous emission will be discussed.
