Abstract
The differential equations governing inversion and photon density in a laser are solved for giant pulse operation. The simplifying assumptions which permit solution involve homogeneous excitation of the laser and the neglecting of changes produced by pumping and fluorescence during the formation of the giant pulse. Energy, peak output power, pulse delay, and pulse width are calculated.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
