Spontaneous Coherent Pulsations In Standing-Wave Laser Oscillators: Frequency Characteristics, Lee W. Casperson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

The output signal from a spontaneously pulsing laser must, by definition, consist of more than one frequency component. The experimental and theoretical study of the frequency components'associated with such a laser can provide valuable insights into the pulsation processes. The results of an investigation into the frequency characteristics of a spontaneously pulsing standing-wave laser are reported.
