Gasdynamic lasers with auxiliary optical pumping

Journal Article · · Soviet Journal of Quantum Electronics
Preliminary ideas are developed on the use of auxiliary optical pumping in a gasdynamic laser. The auxiliary pump source may be a second laser or the gasdynamic laser itself with a feedback in its optical channel. Such additional optical pumping may increase the gain of the medium and it may also allow reduction in the expansion ratio of a gas passing through a nozzle in a gasdynamic laser.
