title: Low temperature diode pumped active mirror Yb3+:YAG disk laser amplifier studies.
abstract: An experimental study of a static helium gas gap heat switch concept for laser amplification is presented. High single pass gains with large co-sintered ceramic Yb:YAG disks are recorded in the 80-200K temperature range on a diode pumped active mirror amplifier.
