Abstract: | We measure the small-signal gain coefficient g
0 and the saturation-energy intensity E
s of a gold-vapor laser by implementing an oscillator-amplifier on the base of the gold-vapor laser. The dependence of the
gain and saturation properties of the laser on the length of the laser active medium, the buffer-gas pressure, and the buffer-gas
type are studied. The measurements of g
0 for the amplifier for different lengths of the laser active medium (60 and 75 cm) show that with increase in the active-medium
length, g
0 increases while E
s, vice versa, decreases. Such behavior of g
0 and E
s is observed in the whole range of changing the total pressure of buffer gas in the He-Ne mixture. |
