Resonatorless generation of a giant laser pulse
Abstract
Resonatorless generation has been arranged in a ruby laser with feedback through molecular light scattering in an optically transparent medium. Lasing was achieved in two types of operation: single-pulse free-running generation due to thermal Rayleigh scattering and giant pulse generation due to stimulated Brillouin backscattering of the free-running generation.
