States of polarization in a gas laser with internal mirrors
Abstract
The experimental analysis of the states of polarization of each longitudinal mode in an internal mirror laser oscillator is given. We also present two features of the polarization in the three-mode gas laser: first, the existence of two regions in which the longitudinal modes undergo a flipping between their two possible orthogonal states of linear polarization and the time of this flip.
