Energy and Power Considerations in Injection and Optically Pumped Lasers

Yariv, Amnon

Abstract

The topics of power and energy output from lasers are treated. Both three- and four-level lasers are considered in the pulsed and continuous modes of operation. The theoretical power and energy estimates are compared, when possible, with experimental data.
