Abstract :
Approximate calculations of the maximum output power of a 6328 Å He-Ne gas laser are made for a number of laser tubes and the results compared with experimentally observed values. Good agreement is obtained. Similar calculations are then used to determine the maximum output power, optimum mirror transmission, and optimum laser geometry (length and diameter of laser tube, for a number of special cases.
