Influence of mirror anisotropy and Brewster window orientation on radiation characteristics of ring lasers
Abstract
The influence of the angle of rotation of the Brewster windows and the combined phase anisotropy of the cavity on the lasing polarization and energy characteristics of a ring laser is investigated. The polarization azimuths and elipticities are investigated in a triangular ring laser operating at lambda = 1.5 microns. The findings make it possible to assess the influence of magnetic fields on the frequency characteristics of ring lasers based on the actual phase anisotropy of the laser mirrors and the orientation accuracy of the Brewster exit windows of the active element.
