The output of the ARR device is precisely characterized to determine the gain and loss of a laboratory CW Nd：YAG laser by using the Findlay-Clay approach. The ARR arm is then experimentally arranged inside the cavity of an arranged high power side-pumped CW Nd：YAG laser. A coated beam splitter with 50–50% re？ectivity at normal incidence is placed inside the cavity to provide a wide range of re？ectivity from 0 to 100%. This is performed by a rotatable stage and tilting the beam splitter by 10？ with the steps of 0.05. By changing the input electrical power of the laser pump the variation of the output laser power is monitored for 20 individual re？ectivity of ARR arm. Average pump threshold power of about 180 W is obtained. With the help of the derived equations and obtained threshold power, small signal gain and loss associated with the emerging beam is estimated. It is verified that the former is very dependent to the input parameters. Laser efficiency is also measures 5.6% which is quite comparable with the reported values.展开更多

The ＂hot＂ dispersion equation is obtained by means of the self-consistent field theory. The small signal analysis,which includes the effects of the beam parameters and slow-wave structure （SWS） parameters,is carried out by theoretical computation. The numerical results show that the bandwidth and the small-signal gain of the rectangular helix TWT increase as the beam current increases;and the beam voltage not obviously influences the small signal gain. Among different rectangular helix structures,the small-signal gain increases as the width of the rectangular helix SWS increases,however,the bandwidth decreases whether structure parameters a and L or ψ and L are fixed or not.In addition,a comparison of the small-signal gain of this structure with a conventional round helix is made.The presented analysis will be useful for the design of the TWT with a rectangular helix circuit.展开更多
