Additive Pulse Mode-Coupling of a Nd: YAG Laser: Attempts at a Self-Stabilizing System
Abstract
Using a numerical model, the dissertation describes, "an Additive-Pulse Mode Locked (APM) Nd:YAG-Laser" in various configurations. The relationship between the photon density and the occupational density of the laser's upper level represents the basis for the numerical treatment of the strengthening in the laser-active medium (chapter 2). The nonlinear medium of an APM-laser, the glass fiber, is described in chapter three. Chapter four treats the principle of mode-coupling, with the various principal orderings of the APM demonstrated. The aforementioned APM numerical model comprises chapter 5, with emphasis on the Fabry-Perot and the P- and Q-configurations. The final chapter yields the experimental results if the various configuration.
