Abstract

The gain saturation in hollow waveguide lasers is theoretically analyzed for various resonator arrangements. The presented simple formula facilitates the laser designing process. A mode inversion phenomenon is predicted and strong dependence of the gain saturation on the mode structure is observed. 1.
