Superluminescent-laser theory

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

A theoretical study is made of the pulse shape of superluminescent lasers based on dye solutions excited by supershort pumping pulses. A relation is obtained between the shape of the luminescence-pulse envelope and the shape of the pumping pulse. The effect of diffraction phenomena due to inhomogeneity of inversion over the amplification-tube cross section is analyzed.
