title: Thermal eigenmode amplifiers for diffraction-limited amplification of ultrashort pulses.
abstract: The design of high-repetition, high-average power, multipass amplifiers in which the pump power induced thermal lensing within the amplifier is used to create an equivalent lens waveguide for the production of diffraction-limited beams is analyzed.
