Intrinsic Instabilities in Homogeneously Broadened Lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Experimental observation has shown that it is no simple matter to make a homogeneously broadened laser operate in a single longitudinal mode. However, elementary theoretical treatments of homogeneously broadening predict that such lasers can operate in only a single mode, because all of the atoms constituting the gain medium experience identical degrees of saturation.
