7.2.1 Four level laser Example 7.1 Calculation of the number of cavity photons in typical cw lasers. A low-power example, a 50-cm-long-He Ne laser, λ=630nm, typically T2 =1%, A high power example, a 10-kW CO2 laser, λ=10.6μm, Le=150cm, and an output mirror transmission ,for this high-gain laser, of T2 =45%, 7.2.2 Quasi-three-level laser pump laser Fast decay E3, N3 E2, N2 E1, N1 7.2.2 Quasi-three-level laser For We can obtain We may now define a population inversion N as We can obtain the equations in the variables Φ and N 7.2.2 Quasi-three-level laser Compare with the rate equations
