Aberrative nonlinear transfer matrices are introduced to treat the propagation of laser beam in Kerr medium with thermal lensing. The dependence of mode-locking regions on cavity symmetry and the distance between the fold mirror and the crystal, and the optimal arrangement for Kerr-lens mode-locking are discussed with ABCD matrix method.
