Abstract :
A fully two-dimensional analysis of a steady-state RF excited rectangular bore waveguide laser, without adjustable parameters, is presented. The effects of the gas temperature, diffusion, and electron density on the laser gain are accounted for. Comparisons of predicted small-signal gain and output laser power with experimental results are given. The agreement is quite satisfactory.
