Coupling effects between forward and backward waves in optically pumped linear-cavity gas lasers

Abstract

Optically pumped gas lasers (OPGL), extensively used for far-IR to visible generation, operate in a three-level system (pump and lasing transitions sharing a common level). Although most previous laser analyses were restricted to the case of traveling-wave (TW) pump and generated beams, a standing-wave (SW) situation occurs in most common lasers, and some interesting new phenomena not described by the TW models can appear.
