Maximum gain of a multistage laser amplifier

A. I. Makarov, A. K. Potemkin


Abstract: An investigation was made of the energy, spectral, angular, and temporal characteristics of superradiance emitted by a multistage neodymium glass amplifier with a gain of ~10⁷. Superradiance was found to affect significantly the operation of the amplifier only when the gain reached ~10⁷– 10⁸.
