Design criteria for FIR waveguide laser cavities

Journal Article · · IEEE J. Quant. Electron.; (United States)
The geometrical design parameters of coherently pumped far infrared waveguide laser cavities are analyzed with respect to minimization of pump power losses. The advantages of highly degenerate cavities and off axis displacement of the injection hole are outlined. Relations between the cavity parameters are given which simplify the design of cavities with high pumping efficiency.
