An equation is derived for calculating the TEM{sub 00q}-mode energy density in a laser cavity using experimentally measured quantities (e.g., the reflectivity of the output mirror, the pump excess over the threshold, the output energy, and the TEM{sub 00q}-mode radius). The equation is used for estimating the saturation energy density in at 2.92-{mu}m Cr{sup 3+}:Yb{sup 3+}:Ho{sup 3+}:YSGG laser (lasers)
