Abstract
Based on the laser rate equations in a typical four-level system, we research the temperature-dependent gain characteristics of a solid-state heat-capacity laser (SSHCL) involving the small-signal gain coefficient and the gain distribution's uniformity. The influences of doping concentration of active ions and initial operating temperature on the small-signal gain coefficient are discussed for Nd-doped glass heat-capacity laser. Furthermore, the gain distributions of a slab laser gain medium operating in SSHCL mode are discussed.
