This thesis covers two areas of laser physics: optical cooling of rare-earth-doped solids by anti-Stokes fluorescence and the generation of pure Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes using a ring-shaped pump beam. A novel laser-based approach to determining local variations in the temperature of transparent samples is developed. This technique is based on monitoring the frequency-shift of the axial modes of a simple, diode-pumped solid-state laser resonator in which the sample is placed. A theoretical resolution of <4.5mK is calculated for a perfectly isolated probe resonator. The technique is validated by comparison to thermocouple measurements of a control sample. The advantages of this diagnostic technique have been demonstrated for the discrimi...
