Effect of detuning on a single-mode modulated laser

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
We have compared the impact of loss, pump, and frequency modulations on a single-mode homogeneously broadened laser under varying detunings and modulation frequencies. In the case of loss and gain modulations the impact on intensity shows a minimal behavior at the line center for gain values more than twice the lasing threshold. The system relaxation time with respect to any transient perturbation depends on the magnitude of detuning and is minimal at the line center. In the case of frequency modulation, the impact on intensity vanishes at the line center irrespective of the gain values. These results are based on linear analysis.
