Abstract
Using steady‐state approximations to describe the performance of an HgBr* (B→X), uv‐preionized discharge laser oscillator and amplifier, values are derived for small‐signal gain g0, absorption α0, and saturation flux Isat. The averaged best fit of the experimental data to the theoretical expressions is found for g0=6.6%/cm, α0=0.35%/cm, and Isat =200 kW/cm2 for the case when the buffer gas consists of 900 Torr Ne+100 Torr N2.Keywords
