The current paper significantly expands the applicability of the Lagrange Multiplier Technique in optimizing the output energy of a uniformly pulse-pumped, or alternatively the output power of a CW-pumped, passively Q-switched laser containing arbitrary gain and saturable absorber materials. The optimization process guides the selection of key design elements such as output mirror transmission and unsaturated absorber transmission and predicts the pulse width and peak power.The paper also examines the effects of non-uniform pumping on laser performance and compares the theoretical predictions with experimental results.

高度包容的调Q激光器理论


本文显着扩展了拉格朗日乘数技术在优化均匀脉冲泵浦输出能量或包含任意增益和可饱和吸收材料的连续泵浦、被动调Q激光器的输出功率方面的适用性。优化过程指导输出镜传输和不饱和吸收体传输等关键设计元素的选择，并预测脉冲宽度和峰值功率。论文还研究了非均匀泵浦对激光器性能的影响，并将理论预测与实验结果进行比较。
