ABSTRACT
Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in large size, high gain Yb(3+):YAG slabs severely impacts the gain/energy storage capability. We will discuss numerical simulations and experimental results obtained on large size Yb(3+):YAG slabs. The spatial distribution and temporal evolution is shown under different conditions.
