Fig. 2

a Fabricated YLF thermal link with a sputtered Ag/Au mirror on the cold-finger interface. b YLF thermal link AFB-bonded to the Brewster-cut YLF:10%Yb cooling crystal. c Cross sectional view and dimensions (in mm) of the δ = 15° geometry with a 90° inside angle. The dimension in the orthogonal direction is 4.10 mm. The orientation of the c axis is indicated, and it is parallel to the c axis of the YLF:10%Yb crystal
