Effects of Gaussian-beam averaging on laser instabilities
Abstract
The connection between the treatment of the effects of Gaussian-beam averaging on laser instability in the papers by Stuut and Sargent (1984) and Lugiato and Milano (1983) is demonstrated. Results obtained for laser instabilities with a Gaussian transverse profile are reviewed.
