Abstract

From the laser cavity theory, we analyze the stable properties of the cavity in the conditions of various parameters, and then the output power curves of the laser are fully analyzed. The results show that the double-peak shape of the curves does not appear in three special cases of cavity parameters, in two of which there exist wide regions for stable output. Based on heretical analysis, we design a laser with proper cavity parameters and obtain some experimental results, which coincide with the theoretical expectations.
