Abstract
Based on solving a boundary problem for a ring gas laser with a reversal mirror, conditions necessary for the realization of the unidirectional generation regime are established. Under these conditions, anomalies arise in the frequency dependence of the laser energy. They are manifested through the occurrence of relatively high peaks compared to the conventional Lamb dip. The unidirectional generation regime has been realized for an argon laser at a wavelength of 4880 Å.
