Abstract

Saturation effects in gaseous media in the presence of a high-intensity resonant laser field and in the field of incoherent radiation caused by the intrinsic spontaneous emission are considered. A simple nonlinear set of kinetic equations is proposed for describing the saturation effect in the case of optically thin media and nondegenerate levels. The Bennett structure and the band of homogeneous saturation, whose parameters are interdependent, exist in the velocity distribution. The regularities in the behavior of the band and the Bennett structure under variation in the transition parameters and the intensity of laser radiation are elucidated.
