Description/Abstract | In zig-zag optical path, slab-geometry laser amplifiers, multiple reflections within the slab cause the extracting optical beams to repeatedly fold over themselves.^Because of this, some regions of the slabs are extracted by two overlapping beams.^In this paper, the theory for pulse propagation in laser amplifiers is extended to include the effects of the zig-zag optical path.^Simple equations are derived for slabs which are similar uniformly filled by the extracting beam or partially filled.^Extraction with spatial beam modulation due to interference is also examined. |
