Gain and dispersion focusing in a high gain laser.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transverse modes of a laser resonator containing a medium with a strong radial gain profile differ greatly from the modes of a similar resonator containing a low gain medium. Focusing and defocusing effects result from the gain profile and from the associated dispersion profile. The dispersion focusing causes an asymmetry in the power output as the laser is tuned across the gain line. The theory has been verified using a high gain 3.51-micro xenon laser.

Investigation of Thermal Dispersion and Thermally-Induced Birefringence on High-Power Double Clad Yb:Glass Fiber Laser
In this work the effects of heat generation on the modes of Yb:Glass double clad fiber laser were investigated. The thermal dispersion and thermally-induced birefringence were considered when the gain medium becomes an anisotropic medium. The results showed considerable modifications of laser modes profiles, in particular for transfer magnetic (TM) and transfer electric (TE) modes which their p...
متن کاملStudy of Geometrical-Dependence of Glow Discharge on Gain Coefficient in a TE-N2 Laser
Based on a set of experiments, using a transversely exited (TE) oscillator-amplifier N2-laser system (OSC-AMP) with the AMP effective length of 31cm, measurements have been carried out for small signal gain, g0, and saturation energy density, Es, for different AMP gap separations. It was found that the gain-value depends on the AMP electrode gap separation, d<su...

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of self-fields on gain in a helical wiggler free electron laser with axial magnetic field and ion-channel guiding. The self-electric and self-magnetic fields of a relativistic electron beam passing through a helical wiggler are analyzed. The electron trajectories and the small signal gain are derived. Numerical investigation is shown that for grou...

Fast ignition is a new scheme for inertial confinement fusion (ICF). In this scheme, at first the interaction of ultraintense laser beam with the hohlraum wall surrounding a capsule containing deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel causes implosion and compression of fuel to high density and then laser produced protons penetrate in the compressed fuel and deposit their energy in it as the ignition hot sp...
