Abstract :
Output polarization rotation sensitivity to an axial magnetic field was varied by a factor of 10 through use of a variable angle quartz flat inside the laser resonator. Using a mathematical model for the laser, an expression was found for the sensitivity which compared favorably with experimental results.
