A simplified method is proposed for solving the equations describing a stimulated Raman scattering laser using a medium with population inversion. The output signal and efficiency of a stimulated Raman scattering laser are calculated as a function of the duration of a coherent pumping square-wave pulse for the example of photodissociation of CF/sub 3/I and C/sub 3/F/sub 7/I. Methods are given for optimizing laser operation to increase the efficiency.
