This thesis is a study of new ytterbium-doped crystals, made for the development of efficient (and sometimes broadly tunable) lasers emitting around 1 µm. The first part presents the laser performance, under high power diode pumping, of new crystals: Yb:GGG, Yb:GdCOB, Yb:BOYS (and Yb:CaBOYS), Yb:SYS and Yb:YSO. The efficiency, tunability and thermal behaviour of these materials is discussed, and illustrated (when pertinent) by a comparison between materials of similar properties. Thermal effects limit the scaling toward higher powers in most of these materials: a comprehensive study of these effects is performed in the second part of this thesis. We begin this part by setting the theoretical background necessary to understand thermal and th...
