An analytical model for predicting gain, intensity and output power of fast speed flowing lasers
Abstract
The thermal motion distribution of gas particles based on the rate equations are used for analytical expressions for predicting gain, intensity and output power of gas flowing lasers. Present expressions are reduced to the well known formulae of nonflowing gas lasers if flow velocity has vanished. The effects of the changes in mirror reflectivity and the changes of the time-dependent gas excitation in upstream of the cavity are considered.
