Limits Imposed by Spatial Hole Burning on the Single-Mode Operation of Standing-Wave Laser Cavities.

摘要

A simple formula is derived that gives the ratio of the maximum single-longitudinal-mode inversion density for a standing-wave laser in terms of the cavity geometry and well-known material parameters. This formula can be used as a guideline in the design of single-frequency lasers. Reprints. (rh)
