Two-frequency passive mode locking in an iodine photodissociation laser

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
Partially summed Maxwell--Bloch equations were used to estimate the ultimate potentialities of the passive mode-locking regime in an iodine laser under single-frequency and two-frequency lasing conditions. In the case of two-frequency passive mode locking an experimental discovery was made and an explanation was given of the appearance, in the laser emission spectrum, of the combination frequencies ..nu../sub 22/-..delta nu.. and ..nu../sub 34/+..delta nu.., where ..delta nu.. is the spectral interval between ..nu../sub 22/ and ..nu../sub 34/.
