Dynamics of active mode phasing in a pulsed laser with periodic loss modulation
Anikeev V.B.
Ultrashort pulses with energy on the order of the gain saturation energy (6 J/cm2) were obtained directly in a laser for the first time; this is important when it comes to effective amplification of the pulse energy. It is demonstrated that in the giant-pulse regime it is possible in principle to phase the spectral components of the emission within the limits of the generation spectrum. This spectrum contains frequencies that differ strongly from the resonator modes.
