Abstract:
The boundary-value problem is formulated for a Raman laser with a plane-parallel resonator pumped by a converging beam. The problem is formulated using the equations for the photon flux densities of the pump radiation and the first Stokes component. A method of numerical calculation on a computer is described. An approximate analytic technique is suggested for finding the transverse distributions of the Stokes photon flux density in the mirror planes. This technique can be used to find the principal features of steady-state emission from a Raman laser pumped by a converging beam. The approximate results are compared with those obtained by numerical calculations. The case of emission of two Stokes components is discussed.
