Theoretical study of mode competition in the 3.5 micron He-Xe laser in an axial magnetic field
Abstract
The paper deals with the numerical calculations carried out for the mode competition between two oppositely circularly polarized Zeeman components of a He-Xe laser at 3.51 micron in an axial magnetic field. A parameter M is defined to express the strength of the mode competition. It is shown that the increase of M with gas pressure increasing is due to the increase of population exchange between Zeeman sublevels and the preservation of the intracoherence between them.
