Modifying the one-dimensional power-coupling formalism to model a cw Nd:YAG laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A lamp-pumped, cw Nd:YAG laser cannot be modeled adequately by the one-dimensional power-coupling formalism without assuming intensity-dependent cavity losses. The source of the intensity dependence has not been determined but may be due to absorption saturation in the gain medium or to aperture and beam profile effects.
