The thermal lensing effect of solid-state lasers under the lasing condition is studied by a thermal model for designing a working cavity. We simulate variations of the stable zones for cavities with different configurations. Theoretical descriptions are verified by a Nd: YAG laser in the experiment. The control of the thermal lensing is achieved experimentally by changing the configuration of the cavity.
