Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Explicit formulas are examined for the development of optical pulses in gain‐switched or Q‐switched laser oscillators and for the distortion of such pulses in succeeding stages of laser amplification. The results are compared to data obtained with a TEA CO₂ oscillator‐amplifier system.
