INVESTIGATION OF CERTAIN BASIC PROBLEMS IN SOLID STATE AND GASEOUS OPTICAL MASERS.

Abstract

This report gives results of an experimental and theoretical investigation of the spectral and transient characteristics of solid-state and semiconductor lasers and also a theoretical study of the nonlinear interaction of coherent lightwaves due to the higher order coherent Raman effects. It includes also a description of the detailed results obtained in a successful attempt at improving both the output spectra and the spiking characteristics of ruby and CaWO4:Nd(3+) lasers and some preliminary experimental results of higher order coherent Raman processes confirming that volume amplification of coherent lightwaves via the Raman processes have been observed.
