Influence of backscattering on the operation of a ring laser with a methane cell

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
The influence of backscattering (reflection) on the position of the extremum of a ''competing'' methane peak in a lambda=3.39..mu.. ring laser was investigated experimentally and theoretically (a number of simplifying assumptions were made in the latter case). The experimental results indicated the possibility of a shift of this extremum by 300--500 Hz when the change due to backscattering by defects in optical elements was close to the internal phase shift.
