The spectroscopic and laser kinetic properties of the trivalent ytterbium ion in various solid-state media are reviewed. Contrasts between four- and quasi-three-level lasers (e.g,, Nd:YAG versus Yb:YAG) are highlighted. Various architectures suitable for use in high-brightness high-power Yb :YAG lasers are examined, and achieved laser performance levels are summarized. The properties of alternative ytterbium-doped laser gain media are reviewed, and early laser results are cited.
