Gain switching in high power lasers Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We consider situations whereby energy could be stored in a metastable state and then "dumped" by switching on an external field thus enhancing the coupling to a lower state at some later time. The present calculations indicate that this concept merits experimental study. 1981.
